cbk57 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 It took 10 years for WNW to do the DrI, while the Albatros DV was one of their first kits, I don’t think we will have to wait 10 years to get an Albatros DIII. However it is clear right now their plate is really full and we won’t see a DIII soon in my opinion. However I would bet we will get one in less than 5 years. I think the DIII is too important of a kit for them to ignore, so I think we will see one in the next few years. Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard Albatros D.III used the Mercedes D.IIIa engine. It does mean we're likely to be getting something Austro-Hungarian from WNW for the first time, though. Yes, but it wouldn't be the first time they placed two engines in a single seater either. I would venture more toward the Aviatik but the Albatros would be awesome. Like I said though, this is good news for the Porsche fans out there no matter which way they go. Pup7309 and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar Hansa versions was about 38cm - so no Felixstowe! From what I’ve read the smaller one didn’t have the Daimler engine but happy to let Wingnuts work that one out...

OldTroll Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 "... Yes it’s quite unique - kind of chunky looking bird. " Even chunkier with the so-called "baby coffin" enclosed MG mount on the upper wing. There are a raft of schemes for the D.I, most of which have unpainted plywood fuselages with large geometric shapes or letters and CDL wings. Linke-Crawford (27 victories) was a well-known user of this aircraft as well as the Phonix D.I and Aviatik(Berg) D.I (WNW please add these to future releases.)
