Albatros DII

Good day.
I have an old model of the First World War Albatros DII aircraft with a number on the SOP D19 41/16 at home, and I can't find out what kind of camouflage he had, where he was included, or who flew on it. If anyone please know anything about this, I will be grateful for any information. Thanks.

great. I am still considering to get the Albatross model that Manfred von Richthofen flew, can you please advise where to find it?

looking at the model, it has two ribs on the top of the wing, not one as in the diagram you sent me the link.

I confess I have no idea what kind of ribbing. You mean the radiator?


Otherwise, Manfred's der Rote Vogel is quite famous - avia-hobby.ru


Otherwise it's hard to recommend if I don't even know the scale, 1:72, which is what I'm building, Albatros D. III does for example Roden - http://www.roden.eu/HTML/012.htm


1:32 also - http://www.roden.eu/HTML/606.htm


1:48 - made by eduard, but it's not a direct decal version of MvR- http://www.eduard.cz/

Yeah, the radiator. I'm also building a 1:72, I'm not into the bigger ones.

So he's got two radiators on the top surface? That's odd, that was used in Turkey, but it wasn't standard on the Western Front. Throw up a picture if you can

Here's a photo of the Albatross, you can't quite see it clearly, but it looks like it had one central radiator, like in the color scheme

Hm, so I can't help you more with that, I couldn't find another photo, according to the serial number it should be a series with one central radiator. That's supported by the rectangular black smudge on the bottom of the upper wing.

hm, I don't know either, I think the model manufacturer made a mistake somewhere. I don't even know who the model is from, maybe the direction, I don't know, it's been an awful lot of years.
