About product

The Albatros D.V in 1:32 scale

Unlike its sister items, this one aims at one version only, namely the earlier D.V. According to the name the elements are prepared by a laser cut, so a precise outline awaits you, which only needs releasing and carrying over. A model of the aircraft is not included; this is exclusively a finishing accessory.

Service over the western front

The D.V came to the combat units in the spring of 1917 as an attempt to improve the very successful D.III type. The designers slimmed the fuselage, reworked the shape of the upper surface and lowered the weight, but the expected leap in performance did not come. The pilots complained that they were gradually losing their superiority over contemporary opponents from England and France, and above all that the lower wing with its single spar would not bear sharp maneuvers. Even so the type stayed in service until the last months of the conflict and became one of the most frequently photographed machines of that time.

What to watch out for at work

The most work is given by the transition over the cylindrical part of the fuselage. Proceed in smaller sections, polish the area in advance and take a pause between the individual steps, so that everything dries properly. Only when the surface is completely dry does the final adjustment of the sheen come into play.

For which modelers

  • Anyone interested in aviation of the First World War in the largest formats
  • Those who build a particular machine from a period photograph
  • Modelers who dislike frayed edges left by scissors

Information beyond the name, that is beyond the scale, the version and the laser cut, is deliberately not added here.

FAQ

Only the D.V figures in the name, and so no wider coverage is claimed either. The extent tends to be printed on the packaging.

It had a slimmer fuselage and a reworked upper surface, but it did not bring the expected rise in performance and the lower wing remained delicate.

Reckon on work over several evenings. The drying between steps cannot be hurried and haste shows on a large model.

Lukewarm water and an ordinary softener are enough. The undercoat, however, has to be smooth and glossy, otherwise matte edges will arise.
