This is a slightly tweaked texture set for the standard FE Albatros DVa, to create the appearance of late war DVa, with a few changes to add some additional detail.
The main change is the lozenge pattern on the upper wing surfaces and the tailplane, which gives it a brighter look and alters the colours a bit. The underside of the tailplane also uses the 'upper' lozenge pattern to help portray the notion of some of the shortages experienced in the German aircraft industry as the war progressed. The fuselage wood has been changed to a slightly more reddish colour, which is based on the appearance of the 1960's Cole Palen replica, for no other reason than the fact that I like the colour of that one, and it adds a bit of variety. I've also added the weight data stenciling to the fuselage. The wheels have had the tire valve access hole and spokes added, there is also some exhaust smoke staining added to the stabiliser and elevator on the right side, and the Albatros Company logo has been added to the rudder, as it would have appeared on aircraft that had not been overpainted with fancier markings.
Feel free to mess around with this paint job, have fun with it, and bag a Frenchie for the Kaiser. Al 'Chock' Bradbury

This is a pack of 14 Fokker Dr.1's of Jasta 19 done by quack74.
All these skins were previously posted here in the download section.
This pack will fix the tail sections of those skins. The Fuselage streaking now continues through the tail to the rudder. Also the lower wings will now have the white cross fields. In the readme I've explained how to add the cross fields to the stock Dr.1 Jastas and my other skins that don't already have them.

This is a Roland DVIa flown by Ltn Otto Kissenberth of Jasta 23b in late 1918.
Enjoy, quack74
This is a repaint of the SE5a to add a bit of detail and definition to the model and make it appear more 'green' as SE5as occasionally did when the PC dope was mixed differently. I have painted on the fuselage side lacing with more definition and put new creases into that covering based on photographs of a few SE5as. The wings have been repainted to show a more realistic wear effect on the rib stitching and where the main spar contacts the covering. On the underside, I have attempted to emulate the translucent effect of clear doped linen to show the wing spars and ribs, as well as a bit of dirtying up having been added. I've made it look as though a minor repair has been effected on the starboard lower wing covering from a few bullet holes having been patched, although this is very minor and not over the top, merely to add some interest. Overall, the skin has been given a bit of general wear and tear, although the appearance of the aircraft is still relatively well cared for, just showing a bit of typical scuffing from a few week's worth of service. The wheel fairings have had the tire valve access hole added and the spokes made visible inside the wheel. There are a couple of other minor texture tweaks too, such as a recolouring of the wing struts and undercarriage stanchion fairings, based on observations of the Shuttleworth Collection's SE5a.
Instructions for installation are included in a small read me file, although there's nothing complicated about installing it, Al 'Chock' Bradbury.
Have fun, feel free to mess with it or redistribute it (keeping in mind Third Wire's rules), and bag a Hun for me. Chocks away chaps, jolly good show!
