About product

Albatros D.III, 1:48, ProfiPACK (Eduard)

An injection-molded plastic model of the German fighter biplane Albatros D.III in 1:48 scale, in the popular ProfiPACK edition from the Czech brand Eduard. ProfiPACK means that, alongside the plastic, the package includes colored photo-etch and wheel masks, so you build a richly equipped model straight from the box. The set offers several marking options, including aircraft of well-known pilots from Jasta units.

The real subject

The Albatros D.III was one of the key German fighter biplanes of the First World War. It was distinguished by an elegant, slender fuselage, a lower wing of reduced span (a so-called sesquiplane), and armament of two synchronized machine guns. In the hands of experienced pilots, it was a feared opponent in the skies of 1917.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plastic parts with thin liquid plastic cement, and the small colored photo-etch with cyanoacrylate (super glue). The included masks make painting the wheels easy. Plan on rigging — stringing tensioning wires between the wings, which gives a biplane its realistic look; you can use drawn wire or special thread. Apply a primer before painting, and render the fuselage's wooden surfaces with a wash to imitate wood grain.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of First World War aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • More experienced modelers who will appreciate the photo-etch and biplane rigging
  • Fans of German fighter aces and Jasta units

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints, and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Besides plastic parts, it includes colored photo-etch and wheel masks, so you build a richly equipped model straight from the box.

For a realistic biplane look, we recommend rigging — stringing tensioning wires between the wings with drawn wire or special thread.

Because of the small photo-etched parts and the rigging, this suits a more experienced modeler and WWI aircraft enthusiast better.
