About product

The last of the Albatros line

The letter a at the end of the designation means a return to the earlier routing of the aileron cables, which ran from the upper wing and was more durable than the arrangement of the previous version. The machine stayed with the units until the end of the war, even though newer types overtook it in performance. Its recognition features remain the oval plywood fuselage and the radiator set into the upper wing, moved to the right of the axis so that escaping steam did not go into the pilot's face.

What sets the number of masks

With masking sets for aircraft of later decades a simple rule applies: the more bars hold the glazing together, the more pieces of film the modeler gets. A six-frame band on a two-seat cockpit will swallow twenty pieces. Here that rule stops applying, because the cockpit is open and there are no bars. The set therefore counts a different quantity, namely the national insignia, and there are three of them in the envelope.

What is part of the delivery

  • three masks for spraying the insignia on the wings and the fuselage
  • metal weapon muzzles replacing the plastic ends
  • prepared for a large model in 1:32 scale

You will get the best results by first misting a light coat of the background color under the edge of the film. That seals any gap and a further coat can no longer bleed. The metal parts are shortened with a file, never with pliers, because squeezing will flatten a thin-walled tube for good. They are fitted at the very end, after the paint has dried and after the bracing is in place.

FAQ

The cockpit of this type is open and has no framing. The number of pieces of film therefore corresponds to the number of national insignia, not to the number of canopy bars as on newer aircraft.

The main change was the routing of the aileron cables from the upper wing, which proved more reliable. The external shape stayed practically unchanged.

A proven procedure is to spray a thin coat of the surrounding background color over the applied film first. That seals the edge and a further coat can no longer get under the film.

Yes, but exclusively by careful filing or by a cut with a snap-off knife while rotating. Nippers squeeze the profile and the opening closes.
