this is scanned from the Times History of the War 1921 edition, volume 6, map supplement.

the original Albatros D.Va skin was created by Paarma.
 
I thought it would be cool to have an Albatros covered in letters. although I had tried using text overlays I didn't like the way it looked.
 
last year I hand-stamped a white coat with black letters as part of a Halloween costume-- and it occurred to me that I could photograph this coat for more satisfying results. the hand-stamped inconsistencies feel more 'believable' on the curving surfaces of the Albatros.

the original Nieuport 17 skin was made by Rabu. it's the Escadrille 65 stock skin.
 
the heart was borrowed from OBD skin for Werner Voss (D.III), which I believe was done by Paarma. I had to distort it quite a bit to get the face to fit over it.
 
the face was rendered free hand on a piece of paper and then scanned.
 
I made up a new bogus serial number to replace the original.
 
finally, I picked the name "Mathilde" because it's based on an old Germanic name that means "mighty in battle", or some such thing.

Since our Saturday sessions took us out over the channel and farther northeast than I realized, I've made a new grid map for 1917. The only difference is the 2 extra grids added to the top. Install and reading instructions included. OBD copyright text included.

for anybody who wants to try the various mods and tweaks i made for my homebrew
