Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Albatros D.III (Oeffag) 253.32 of Flik 63/J, as flown by Rudolf Němec. Austria-Hungary was slow to adopt the straight-sided cross, and it wasn’t until August 1918 that planes started to be converted over to the new style. 253.32 shows that the marking positioning was still somewhat ad hoc, since the markings are placed on the plane’s fin rather than the more conventional rudder.
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:AlbD3Oef-253.32-Nemec-card.jpg.
