    Hello,

     

    Shortly, im happy you Elephant pointing out the details of OAW build albatroses. The Fuchs machine indeed has errors becourse i have used example picture where this craft was just partly seen.

     

    Best regards

    The new wooden and metal texture is brilliant but I see many mistakes, (OAW and Johannisthal characteristics been mixed up) :dntknw:

    The photo of the actual Fuchs D.Va, from early 18 looked a bit different... :blink:

    The obvious diference is the camo on wings instead of lozenge.

    From what it seems from the photo Fuchs' Albatros was a Johannisthal Werke machine, (fuselage cross placement, centerline stencil and lack of bream on the hood).

    The blue on tail section is extended up to the cross side on fuselage and on the rudder as well.

    From the update pics the plane is having OAW style lozenge camo (blue rib tapes) and weights table stencil placement... :this:

     

    The OAW style lozenge in every Albatros in P3 is a mistake I don't want to see it repeated in P4!

    Gepard, thats good point. Flieger mean Pilot and was probably confused many times. The private soldiers was called different names depending the unit.

     

    "Private soldiers had no rank insignia, and were referred to as Soldat, or Gemeiner. In each branch of service, privates had different names: Infanterist, Jäger, Schütze, Gardist, Grenadier, Fusilier, Musketier, and Pionier, for various infantry regiments; Kürassier, Dragoner, Husar, and Ulan for various cavalry regiments; Kanonier for artillerymen; and Flieger for airforce units. " http://www.worldwar1.com/sfgrank.htm

     

     

     

    You must be a little bit carefull with the term Flieger. Its the old german word for pilot. All flying personal was called Flieger. When a man was called a Flieger, it must not mean his military rank. Also v.Richthofen was a Flieger.

    Hi, Olham,

     

    All his stuff is years old. I haven't seen anything new in quite some time. Doesn't mean it's not out there, I'm just not aware of it.

     

    Some stuff here, in case you haven't seen: http://wwi-cookup.co...r_fuselage.html It looks to me as if his Alb wood was used on many OFF Alb skins.

     

     

    The Mark Millers models is indeed very realistic looking. Just correction, the OFF alb skins looks similar but no the textures is other sources and real plywood also.

     

    Best

    Ok found more promotion lists. This is Ernst Udet personnel record from book: Neal W O´Connor - Aviation Awards of Imperial Germany in WW1 Vol IV. Page 213

     

    "28 November 1915: Promoted 'Unteroffizier"

    "13 March 1916: Promoted "Vizefeldwebel"

    "5 November 1916: Promoted "Offizier-Stellvertreter"

    "22 January 1917: Promoted "Leutnant der Reserve"

     

    So no Feldwebel rank is seen in list...

    I didnt found other sources to confirm the rank order, but anyway if you look the pilots ranks, how many rank Feldwebel pilots you know? All i found was Vizefeldwebel. I saw few pilot promotion lists i found there was first untteroffizier, then vizefeldwebel and then next Offizierstellvertreter. Looks like the rank feldwebel is missing, it might be that it was rank that didnt fit to fighter jasta units, or was useally change to higher rank. If the Vizefeldwebel is lower rank than feldwebel it might be that many times pilots was vizefeldwebels before they was promoted to Offizierstellvertreter. Merry Christmas my friend Olham!!

    About "Offizierstellvertreter" is warrant officer. I think Olham you right. Many non-comissioned officer like Josef Mai, Carl Degelow, Fritz Rümey etc... Was "Offizierstellvertreter" before finally promoted leutnant´s der reserve whitch was called non-commissioned officers who was promoted officers. THis happened useally later 1918 when more experienced pilots needed to lead new jastas. Then pilots with experience but no officer rank was trained to leutnant´s der reserve. The Jastaf'ührer needed to be least lowest ranking officer "leutnant".

    Absolutely my current car porsche 944 -86. It´s not as powerfull like turbo version but its fun to drive and more faster you drive more stable it feels. Also curves its handling like a beast. Very accurate job from western germans. Also quite cheap to own and it takes about 10l per 100km.

    It also had tiny backseats for kids and lot of space in behind even it sport car. My eralier porsche 924 -78 was also fun to drive when it started. Always have to pray that it would start :)
