On July 31st 1918 an order was issued to change the shape and position of the cross markings on all Austro-Hungarian aircraft.
Model shows an Oeffag Albatros, Serie 253, Flik 63/J (Fliegerkompanie 63/Jagd), Portobuffolé/Italy in September 1918.
Oeffag Albatros 1:1 rebuilt with original Austro-Daimler engine
together with a 1:1 rebuilt Hansa Brandenburg C.I with original Austro-Daimler
Dad did a great job on this one. The Austrian Albatros was a structurally sturdier plane then the German version. They weren’t prone to wing shedding as much.
Beautifully built.
Fantastic! Congratulations, Spreitzhofer Family!
Thanks for the great videos!
Your dad's excursion to WWI clearly shows his excellent universal modelling skills, Reinhard @grimreaper

Great videos as well.
Beautiful clean built .
Nice work (as usual).
