Yes, lots. I think I counted 21 with serial numbers on the tail, but the bulk of photos are D.V and later. Probably 5 or 6 of D.IIs and D.IIIs with #'s.Originally Posted by Flying Helmut
Yet another superb pair of offerings Chris.
Thanks for posting.

Agreed. Very nice Chris and I'm looking forward to seeing them in actionYet another superb pair of offerings Chris.
Thanks for posting.
Thank you, guys. I think Jasta 23 officially formed the last day of 1916 so we're stretching the OTT timeline a bit.

More amazing Albatros!!! Great job Tim!
Wonderful looking DIIs Tim.
Excellent work as usual Tim.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
That flight of five look deadly!
Rep gun jammed. Superb job as always.
That's not a sight you'd want to see as an Entente pilot in late '16/early '17!
Awesome work, Tim! I especially like those LVG-built ones
Great work to you all.
Mike, your Private Message box is full!

Just going through some Albatrosses (doesn't everyone!) and found this. Think the Carl Holler is my perfect colour scheme. Nice one Tim. REP for this oneAlbatros D.II (O.A.W.), Serial unknown, Jasta 6, Vzfw. Carl Holler, February 1917

Nice work! Rep gun jammed.
Great job, Gary! Look forward to seeing that one on the table.
Nice job!
More good work!

Here is a repainted Albatros D.II. This one particular I dropped and broke the prop off. Since I had to repair it, I figured I would do something different with the markings. I found this scheme in on of the Austria-Hungary Books. It was on a different model plane, but I liked it.
Spinning Disc Prop -- Aerodrome Store. If anyone knows of anybody making these again please share. These are pretty darn awesome.
DecoArt Americana Cadmium Yellow to paint out the fuselage. Thanks to Teaticket for finding this color for me. Good eye! It matches pretty darn good.
Decals -- Home made decals.
Sharp-looking addition to the hangar, Dan!
I like - the yellow fuselage is awesome & the Bavarian blue-white lozenges pop
Nice one Dan. I was wondering what you were going to do to that DII you mentioned a while back.
You've been busy, Dan.
Nice D.II
Giesebrecht would approve
Nice one Dan - already repped elsewhere
Gary, love that Jasta 22 DII. Rep inbound
Tim - going back to March as I've been AWOL - Those Albatros aircraft are awesome, again. I'm now wondering if you have more Albatros scouts than I have models in my entire collection. Rep inbound.
Looking at the paintwork on all of these models, I'm wondering just how you get those lovely smooth finishes (Yes I did note that Dan's is an Ares repaint, but excellent just the same). Am I right in thinking the rest are Shapeways, or are you, Tim, still painting up your collection of F Toys?
I've never done an Albatros D.II card before? Wow.Albatrossyness Part 4 - first group
