Description

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of the Albatros D.III of Hauptmann Bruno Lörzer of Jasta 26, Germany’s 7th leading WWI ace (tied).  Lörzer served with several units, and earned his first air victory on 21 March 1916.  He survived the war, ending with 44 victories.  Special thanks to OldGuy59 at wingsofwar.org for his contributions to this paint scheme.  It shows Lörzer’s plane in a state of repair with parts of the upper wing yet unpainted, as was shown in some 1917 pictures of this plane.

No painting is necessary — this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired.  The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit.  The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card.  You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme in the gallery above or at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:AlbD3-Lorzer-card.jpg.
