Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Albatros D.III (Oeffag) 253.64 of Flik 42/J. This plane was normally flown by Offizierstellvertreter (Warrant Officer) Friedrich Hefty, but — due to a shortage of aircraft — it was borrowed by Korporal Geza Keisz on 28 August 1918 and was forced down. The swirled camouflage pattern is a unique printed fabric used by Oeffag (Oesterreichische Flugzeugfabrik A.G.). The Series 253 aircraft sported a 225hp Daimler engine and it was one of Austria-Hungary’s top-performing fighters.
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 on this page.
