1/48 Siemens-Shuckert D.IIIGreat War Group Build.

This is the Eduard kit from 2014. It’s the second tooling of this plane that Eduard did. The first tooling was the very first full kit that Eduard produced in 1993. The two kits have nothing in common. This was a real pleasure to [...]

Pfalz D.IIIa

The Pfalz D.III was a German single-seat biplane fighter used during World War I primarily by German Luftstreitkräfte units. It was designed by Rudolph Gehringer and manufactured by Pfalz Flugzeugwerke. Most machines were produced in the [...]

Albatros D.III, 1:32, Roden, Lt. Karl Emil Schäfer, Jasta 28, 30 victories

I saw two nicely built Roden D.III Albatross here recently and I liked them so much I thought I'd build one too. I chose the less presented coloring of the ace Emil Schäfer. I modified a nice looking engine with pipes, cables, spark plugs [...]

Albatros D.III, Oeffag (153.106), 1:48, Eduard, Lt. Franz Gräser, Flik 61J, 18 victories

I present another Oeffag model, this time from the 106 series. The propeller cone started to be removed from these series, due to constant problems with it falling off very often in flight. About the Albatross of the Austro-Hungarian Air [...]

Pfalz D.III, Eduard, 1:48, Vfw. Hecht, Jasta 10,

This is Eduard's first Pfalz release and one of my early models, when I didn't use tensioners and made the strings from threads pulled from women's stockings. Vizefeldwebel Hecht's aircraft of Jasta 10, was forced to land behind British [...]

Albatros D. III, 253.09 Oeffag, 1:48, Eduard, Hpt. Miroslav (Friedrich) Navratil, Flik 3J, 10 victories

A very nice model to build. I only removed the engine cover as they flew in the hot summer months. I retrofitted the engine with a few details. Next, I removed the surface detail on the fuselage and the bottom of the wings and put in new [...]

Albatros D. III, Eduard, 1:48, pilot Lt. Ernst Hess, Jasta 28w, 17 victories.

I recently saw here a beautifully built Albatros D.III by Paul van Acker. I liked it so much that I built it in the same coloring. Very nice build, I just sanded the whole hull and carved new panels and added new engine covers. Lines are [...]

1/48 Kosciusko Squadron Oeffag Albatros D.III

Eduard kit. I added a Quickboost seat and exhausts. Tamiya acrylic paints and Mike Grant decals for the unit insignia (all other markings painted). A very satisfying model building experience.

Imperial Days...1/48 Oeffag Albatros D.III, kuk Luftfahrtruppen

One of my dad´s rare excursions to WW1 and another addition for our Austrian homeland collection. Eduard kit oob, elastic thread for rigging, wings painted with a light gray and Tamiya XF-55 Deck Tan, fuselage painted with a [...]

Albatros D.III OAW, Jasta 50, 1917

Roden 1/32 + WNW decals + Gaspatch. I didn't find pictures of the wings and I didn't know the exact colour of ribs. I chose pink, but blue could be equally valid. Rigging not yet finished.
