Tim, Great looking group and all very well done. John

Thank you all for your kind words, and these are easier and more fun to paint then my Napoleonics. John

3 more Albatros D.Va for Jasta 5. Star was done free hand. I've 5 more painted , but I need to work on the decals for those. http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r529/VonBlucher_John/Albatross6_zps4da8b5f2.jpg http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r529/VonBlucher_John/Albatross5_zps93c79000.jpg http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r529/VonBlucher_John/Albatross4_zps25653212.jpg http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r529/VonBlucher_John/Albatross3_zps6f4fc760.jpg http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r529/VonBlucher_John/Albatross2_zps3c5439ef.jpg http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r529/VonBlucher_John/Albatross7_zpsa6a8471a.jpg

Excellent looking birds!!

Darell, Great job, on this one!! I've 6 incoming DVa's for repainting some more Jasta 5's. John

Chris, I thought about it, but I figured I could do it without that. Thanks for your comment. Rob, thanks, and I figured I could produce 5 more at least with what decals are available and what paint jobs I can reproduce. After that I'll have to look into some way of getting some one of decals printed. Nick, thanks, I'm the only one in the family that has mainly Central Power planes, so at least I won't have to shoot down my own work!! John

Below is my first repaint for Jasta 5, and touched up Von Hippel's and Baumer's paint jobs to get the color schemes more in line to what is posted on the net. Von Hippel's, I changed the fuselage to grey from the light blue and added red rings to the front and rear prior to the tail. Baumer's plane I repainted the struts, and repainted the fuselage where it would be just a wood color. The repaint it possible that this is a Joseph Mai machine prior to the addition of its crescent moon and star. I'm going to try to to represent as many of the Albatross's present at the Boistrancourt aerodrome in July of 1917.
