Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Albatros D.III (Oeffag) 253.116 of Flik 3/J, flown by Oberleutnant Friedrich Navratil. The plane is overpainted in green, applied by a rag or sponge, and it features Navratil’s bold personal markings. He flew briefly with Brumowski’s Flik 41J, but in June 1918 he was appointed commander of Flik 3J. Navratil scored ten air victories. He was injured in a crash in October 1918 and spent the rest of the war recuperating.
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 at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:AlbD3Oef-253-Navratil-card.jpg.
