Plumbum Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I built my son a WWI biplane about 20 plus years ago and would like to do it for myself again. I am thinking it may have been an Eduard kit, possibly an Albatross with a red forward fuselage and dark blue rear fuselage. The most memorable part was the fuselage marking of a moon smoking a pipe. I don't remember the kit maker or scale but am thinking it may have been Eduard in 1/48 scale, does this sound familiar to anyone?

Viking Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 It would be from Jasta 18. Pheon Decals do a very comprehensive decal set Reviewed here covering the Albatros and Pfalz types used, HTH John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Maybe this? Glencoe 5115? I remember a small amount of parts, no PE.---John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testerchild Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think the kit was the Eduard 1/48 Weekend Edition 8407 Albatros DV. I have this in my stash and colours are red nose and blue everywhere else, depicting a machine from Jasta 15. It does not have the half moon face however, but this is probably because it is a Weekend Edition with only one decal choice. It may be that the Eduard Profipack version (PE & Resin parts) has more decal options. If not, Viking's suggestion of going to Pheon Decals would be in order if you particularly want the half moon face. Jasta 18 and 15 swapped their numbers early 1918.
