  6. Jasta 15 Ltn Ernst Udet's Albatros D.III 1941/16

    Jasta 15 Leutnant Ernst Udet's Albatros D.III 1941/16, circa January 1917. This skin is a request and is based on a Bob Pearson computer illustration (which is based on a Dan-San Abbot watercolor illustration) and features standard D.III finish, save for the wood fuselage being a reddish-brown rather than the normal straw-yellow.
     
    Note: This skin is a D.III skin applied to a D.V model. I understand this is historically inaccurate but I see no harm in skinning a D.V in this manner. Eventually, I am certain other Albatros D models will be created.

  15. Albatros DVa Jasta 26 Bruno Loerzer

    This is my second skin for release. I am especially fond of the Bruno Loerzer
    color scheme. It was one of my best 1/48 models which I completed about 50 years ago. That version eventually found its way into a museum in Connecticut.
    When last seen it was in a display case next to a genuine Blue Max.
     
    Bruno Loerzer, commanded Jasta 26 and then JG3. He got 44kills and survived both WWI and WWII. Loerzer died in 1960.
     
    Simply drop the folder into your AlbatrosD5a folder next to the other skins and
    you should be good to go. No need to edit the ini file, but you will need to select
    the skin in the loading screen.
     
    Thanks to TK for the base template for Jasta 26; that made this job a lot easier.
     
    If you have any comments or suggestions, I’d like to have them. Please post on the Combat Aces First Eagles board or PM me there.
     
    Have fun with it.
     
    Please no distribution or republication.

  17. Fritz Rumey D.Va Jasta 5

    This skin depicts the camo and markings on Albatros D.Va flown by Lt Fritz Rumey of Jasta 5. While the skin was technically challenging, the more difficult aspect of this project was the research. Several well-regarded sources depict this aircraft. Unfortunately, and predictably, even the most authoritative sources do not agree on some significant matters. The “candy cane” pattern is shown with noticeable variations. In some views the colors extend over the engine cowl, while others depict a bare metal or polished metal cowl. Everyone agrees that the wings were done in a two-color mauve/green pattern, but there are wide variations as to the pattern, placement and color sequence, not to mention the colors themselves. Consequently, I spent far more time on research, than the actual graphic work, and a significant amount of material is still in the pipeline (including the Windsock two volume set on Jasta 5). I’ll probably decide to make changes later, but eventually I had to make decisions given the material available.
     
    The sources include excellent photos and three views from the Smithsonian depicting the D.Va restoration there, as well as Mark Millers excellent image set, and profiles by Bob Pearson. As usual, there was some definitive advice from a man I regard very highly, Dan San Abbot at the Aerodrome forum, regarding the camo pattern.
    http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/aircraft....html#post11894
     
    The result you see is entirely my own, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws. Some flaws I intentionally left in. I decided to include both logos for the prop and the Albatros factory (on the rudder). Both are entirely accurate but are flawed for different reasons. The prop logo (as far as I can tell) displays only on the rear of the prop when the skin is loaded. You’ll see it on the skin and as the prop turns over. Of course the actual logo was only on the front of the prop. The Albatros factory logo may or may not have been painted over by Jasta 5 (or it may have been painted over and replaced). In any event, it certainly was there when it left the factory, and I think it is at least possible it was on the tail when Rumey flew the plane. The colors for the famous green tail and the camo pattern for the wings, as well as the various bits of hardware are as accurate as the photos, data, and drawings available to me.
     
    Have fun with it. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material.
     
    I’d like to dedicate this skin to Peter01 in recognition for the tremendous work he is doing on the flight models for this sim.
     
    Just drop the folder in your AlbatrosD5a folder and select Fritz Rumey in the loadout screen. There is no need to edit the ini.

  18. Julius Arigi Alb D.III Oef

    Julius Arigi (1895-1981) was the second highest scoring ace in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Unlike most aces, Arigi was an NCO. On August 22, 1916, enemy aircraft were reported to be approaching the Flik 6 airfield. Arigi sought permission to take off and attack them. Because there were no officers available, to fly with him as observers, permission was denied. Acting against direct orders, Arigi took off with another NCO in his in his Hansa-Brandenburg C.I and shot down 5 enemy Farmans in less than one half hour. He survived the war, as the most highly decorated NCO in the Austrian Army Air Service, with 32 confirmed victories. No Hanroit HD-1s were among them.
    My time machine is no longer operational. These skins are interpretations, well-grounded interpretations, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws. I am aware of two variations from the photos and other sources. The rudder depicted is round at the trailing edge, rather than the straight. Both rounded and straight rudders were used on Alb D.III’s, but I would have preferred to use the straight edge type because there are photos of this plane which clearly show the straight edged rudder. Available models do not offer the straight rudder. Some Alb DIII OEF were filed modified by removal of the prop spinner, because some came loose in flight. Again the available models do not offer this variation. Modifications of this magnitude beyond my present skill. If you can do it, please contact me.
    Many sources were consulted in the preparation of these skins, including: Dr. Martin O'Connor, Air Aces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire 1914-1918, Austro-Hungarian Aces of World War 1 by Chris Chant, Mark Rolfe (Illustrator) / Paperback / Osprey Publishing (February 2002), Above the War Fronts by Norman L. R. Franks, Russell Guest, Gregory Alegi / Hardcover / Grub Street (September 1997), Windsock Datafile #19 Albatros D.III (Oef)/ Grosz/Colours & Markings by Ray Rimmel , The Aerodrome Forum, R.N. Pearson profiles and other material on line.
     
    Just drop the folder in your Albatros_D3OAW folder and select Julius Arigi, in the loadout screen. There is no need to edit the ini.
     
    This skins is made available only for your personal use. Please no distribution or republication of any part of these files. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material. Have fun.

  19. Hans Udet Jasta 37 "Black Bird" v1.3

    Greetings:
     
    This skin, v 1.3, depicts the camo and markings on a black Albatros D.Va flown by Lt Hans Udet, then JAFU, Jasta 37, operating out of Wynghene Aerodrome in early 1918. Udet flew many aircraft, and this appears to be one of at least three D.Va types he used at Jasta 37. I relied most heavily on an excellent profile by R.N. Pearson as well as other material.
    You may want to visit Mr. Pearsons web site:
     
    http://www.jastaboelcke.de/artwork/artwork.htm#
     
     
    The markings on the upper and lower wings are revised in v1.3 to conform with images depicted by R. N. Pearson and Osprey, copies of which just became available to me. The change from v1.2 are slight, but those of us who are compulsive about such details will prefer this one. I also had valuable help and support from Barkhorn1x. Of course, I began this project with the general release skins provided by TK and Third Wire. The result you see is entirely my own, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws.
     
    Have fun with it. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material. At the time of this release no information was available as to the serial number for this plane. If you have such info, please pass it along.
     
    Just drop the folder in your AlbatrosD5a folder and select Hans Udet Shawartz in the loadout screen. The name reads Hans Udet Schwartz because this is the black bird (Schwarz is German for black). There is another J 37 Hans Udet D.Va skin, depicting the natural wood fuselage aircraft that will be released along with this version. A third silver version may be released later.
     
    There is no need to edit the AlbD5a ini.
     
    Please no distribution or republication of any part of these files. There is a lot of unique detail that took a lot a time to research, compile and work into the skin. For that reason, these parts are not available for further use.

  20. Hans Udet Jasta 37 D.Va "5876 Woody"

    Greetings:
     
    This skin, depicts the camo and markings on a Albatros D.Va with a wood finish fuselage flown by Lt Hans Udet, of Jasta 37. Udet flew many aircraft, and this appears to be one of at least three D.Va types he used at Jasta 37. I relied most heavily on superb computer renderings by Mark Miller, as well as other information generally relevant to the aircraft
     
    Of course, I began this project with the general release skins provided by TK and Third Wire. The result you see is entirely my own, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws.
     
    Have fun with it. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material. Although I included a serial number, the tail markings on the images available to me are not clear. Hence the “D. 5876/17” is speculative. Nevertheless, the number is in correct form, and yes, that is why the individual numbers do not accurately line up. This is consistent with the form of the numbers on the reconstructed D.Va in the Smithsonian. If you have more information regarding the SN, please pass it along. The Albatros rudder logo is correct, despite the fact that it does not appear in the Mark Miller rendering.
     
    Just drop the folder in your AlbatrosD5a folder and select Hans Udet Woody in the loadout screen. There is another J 37 Hans Udet D.Va skin, depicting the black fuselage aircraft that was released shortly before this version. A third silver version may be released later.
     
    There is no need to edit the AlbD5a ini.

  23. 17-Pack of Albatros Models

    This is a mix of D.IIIOAW, D.V, and D.Va albatros skins. All with fairly accurate Jasta markings. Some models will share the same Jasta markings. This is so different planes can be used at the same time. Also they will match some of the Pfalz D.IIIa's done by me as well.
     
    There are 17 skins in this download. Too many to list here. But it's all in the readme file inside.
     
    Enjoy, quack74

  24. Hans Bohning J79b

    Greetings:
     
    This skin depicts the camo and markings on Albatros D.Va flown by Lt Hans Bohning of Jasta 79b, operating out of Villers-le-sec in the Spring of 1918. I have relied on the excellent profile by R.N. Pearson as well at the superb image by Mark Miller, as well as other sources. The result you see is entirely my own, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws.
     
    I became aware this morning that another version of this skin is a work in process. I have been encouraged to post this version now. I am a bit reluctant, but here it is.
     
    Have fun with it. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material.
     
    Just drop the folder in your AlbatrosD5a folder and select Hans Bohning in the loadout screen. There is no need to edit the ini.
