About product

Roden Albatros W.4 (early) 1:72

This injection-molded plastic kit from the Ukrainian manufacturer Roden captures the early version of the German float fighter Albatros W.4 in 1:72 scale. The set is meant to be glued and painted; it is a typical kit of a First World War biplane with fine engraved detail and decals for several color schemes.

The real subject

The Albatros W.4 came about in 1916 as the float counterpart of the Albatros D series fighters, to protect the naval bases along the Flanders coast. It was a single-seat biplane with a wooden monocoque fuselage and an inline Mercedes engine. The early version was marked out by first-pattern floats.

Building and painting tips

Separate the small parts with a sharp knife and clean them up carefully. A thin cement for plastic, a primer and spraying with an airbrush all work well. Surfaces imitating wood and fabric are characteristic, and precise bracing wires play a large part in giving the model a convincing look.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers interested in First World War aviation
  • Builders of float aircraft and naval machines
  • More experienced modelers who are comfortable with fine parts and bracing wires
  • Collectors of Albatros aircraft in 1:72 scale

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