Very nice Barrie.
Nice looking planes Barrie!
Fuselage repaint of the Ares Albatross C.III (WGF210B Meinecke) based on a drawing of a Turkish Albatross with the fuselage in light blue with darker blue middle band and rear band. The remainder of the aircraft appears to follow the Ares Meinecke paint scheme. The drawing is located on the Wings Palette website (wp.scn.ru), under WW1/Other/Albatross C.1/Turkey (Ottoman Empire)
Last pic is the repainted Albatross flying wingman to the original Ares Meinecke Albatross
Neat looking Turkish scheme. Well done.
I think that band is supposed to be a shadow caused by the upper wing.
Robert, I not sure. There are two similar drawings on the same site for the Rumpler C.I, one with Turkish insignia and the second with German insignia for the Fleigerabteilung (FA) 300 squadron. The Turkish plane has a totally light gray fuselage while the FA-300 Rumpler has the same "banded" scheme (darker grey) against a lighter body on the fuselage, like the Turkish Albatross C.III. I would think if it were a shadow effect all planes would have the band appearing in the drawings.
I agree - you can see it across the national marking and under the elevator too.

Could depend if the same artist did all the artwork in the same way, in the same period & the source image it's taken from. His C.I image on the same page also has shadows. Glancing at other C.III's it looks like multiple artists some with, some without shadows.

Dave, Robert, I'm convinced about the shadow effects. Dave's observation about the national marking definitely shows a darker white edge on the left (shadow) side. I do see that the top of the fuselage is a slightly darker blue than the fuselage sides as well as the section under the elevators just to the right of the tail skid. I will do a repaint of my repaint! Thank you both for your corrections.
Or leave it as is Craig and have something unique in the arsenal !

The repaint of my repaint of the Turkish Albatross C.III is below. I wanted to be accurate and in this case the repaint was even easier than the first repaint, which isn't saying much.
Thank you Robert & Dave for your keen eyesight.
I quite liked the old one, even if it was just a shadow.
Like the new version, too!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Looks good this way too!
Maybe do the shadow on just one side, Craig
Nice one!
REP
Great work I wish I had the patience to do that.
rep guns jammed! nice work craig!
