Very nice Matthias - please include model, crew, paint & decal details for us
Nice like it very much+1
Very nice, thank you for sharing, and to echo Dave's request, provide us some details, please!
Great to see a C1 in our midst Matthias.
As the others say it would make a very good starter project for new repainters.
Rob.
Nice and simple aircraft for beginners, please post details ie manufacturer, squadron decals etc.
Thank you guys!
The plane I´ve made is taken from pictures of "Windsock Datafiles No. 57 - Albatros C.I" and "Aircraft of WWI 1914-1918" by Jack Herris and Bob Pearson (a must have for WWI modellers!).
Sadly there are no unit informations availible.
The model ist a shapeways-model - by Colinwe
https://www.shapeways.com/model/5845...s&materialId=6
The crew is also from shapeways - by Reduced Aircraft Factory. There are Packages of Pilots and gunners (the gunners ar a little bit to big in my opinion but of very good detail).

I used revell waterbased colors as always.
The decals are from Dom´s Decals http://www.domsdecals.com/shop/page/...Lu&shop_param=, the serial number is a self made decal.

Very nice paint. The crew size looks good in the pics. Job well done.
Nicely done I think Iwill add one to my collection
Here's one from me: Albatros C.I by Colinwe
Sealed with Klear & a couple of coats of watered down PVa then Under-coated with white (Humbrol 34 acrylic).
Fuselage & undersides top coat of Vallejo sky blue cut with some white 2:1 ish to lighten the colour; Upper surfaces Humbrol Acrylic aircraft blue (65) though probably should be light grey.
Repainted with Klear, Decals are by Dom then applied & also sealed with Klear; top coated with Humbrol Acrylic Matt Cote (49). Crew by Peter Pig

Very nice done Dave, go ahead!

Albatros C.I in the Livery of the All-Greater Forces of the Don Cossack Host, Spring 1919, similar to this Hansa-Brandenberg C.I
(Also appearing - a White Spad VII, a Red Vickers FB,19, a Ukrainian Sopwith Dolphin, and an Albatros C.XV of the Knights of Malta)
Very impressive Zoe.
I think you will soon have as many aircraft as they did.

Yesterday I have finished my pair of Albatroses C 1 (by Colinwe) - now I see your planes, Matthias and Dave; they are excellent
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
A nice early 2 seater to add to the collection for OTT early wars.
See you on the Dark Side......
Another thread I just checked and again Zoe has outstanding work.
Here I go with my Albatroses C 1 (Shapeways).
I decided to paint them with Pactra No.93 (RLM 76) blue-grey color (used for late war Luftwaffe fighters undersides in scheme RLM 74/75/76).
Figures are PeterPig ones. Doms/Aim Decals.

Very nice done Andrzej, great looking birds.
- They must habe super-superchargers for their engines - they are flying as high as the moon! -
Can you add some pictures of your game mat - looks interesting?

I do like those Andy.
What shade of grey are they in?

Thank you WingCo.
The colour is: Pactra No.93 (RLM 76) blue-grey color (used for late war Luftwaffe fighters undersides in scheme RLM 74/75/76).
Here is the picture that was an inspiration.

Well you have captured the spirit of that picture admirably.

Thanks a lot for the rep, Rob. Your compliment counts double.

Great looking "target" John!Are the figures Peter Pig?
You are knocking the aircraft out a steady rate of Knots John.
Anyone would think you were getting ready for a Campaign or something.

A very nice paintjob, John. I must admit I was thinking about the bright blue scheme version, similar as yours. It looks really well. Amazingly, how people get creative sharing a common interest in gaming
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
The first picture has come out a lot brighter and bluer in shade than reality.
the mat underneath is green.
the two middle pictures are the closest to the right colour which is Humbrol 65
Thought I would create a thread for the Albatros C.I so I could see what others have come up with. Here are the two I painted:
