Albatross DIII wing tips?

Recommended Posts

Hey, I hate to be a nitpicker, but I'm pretty sure the AlbD3 had square wingtips. I wonder if anyone is handy enough with the 3d models for first eagles to change from the current "pointy" DV-type wingtips to the proper DIII orientation? Or am I wrong and only the DII had square tips?<br /><br />It's just that the early albatroses are some of my favorite planes.<br /><br />Just wonderin, Rotagen.

Feedback is always useful. I'm pretty sure the D.III had the pointed wingtips, though:

Anf TK's upcoming version of the D.III has them too:

What would be nice is the straight edge rudder rather than the D V tail. :biggrin:

I wouldn't necessarily call it the D V tail. The D V took the rudder design from the OAW built DIII. But, yes it would be nice to have both the original Johannisthal factory and the later OAW rudder designs.
