'I note there is some confusion starting on Aeroscale about 32009 Albatros D.V decal placement. While we are not perfect I do not believe we have got this many decal numbers incorrect.

I believe this confusion is being caused by someone trying to use the
instructions from 32009 Albatros D.V to place decals from 32015
Albatros D.Va. It is important to note that these are different models
with different decal sheets.

I would hate for too many people to be mislead by your forum (and now
your review). Anyone looking for decal numbers 72, 73, 74, 75 and
76 on their 32009 Albatros D.V decal sheet they will have a hard time
finding them when they go up to 71.

May I suggest that a quick check of the review samples you have on hand should clear matters up.

If not, please feel free to let me know.

Well good folk, in response to this.

I noticed the decals that go on the dashboard were not the all black switches that appear on the dashboard on the pictures and on the D.Va. Also, there is one guage that goes on the dashboard, which was way oversized, and would not fit on the dashboard. I can't remember, but I think it is the ammo counter. These did not match up, which caused me to have to switch a lot of decals around.

I see the point he is making. I do not have the D.V decals. It is possible the mix up is because the decals might be numbered differently between the two kits. I will go back and make this notation on my post. I will also make an apology as I feel this is my mistake.

So let me be humble and admit my mistake. The decals are numbered correctly in the kits. My notation about incorrect decals is only correct if you are using the D.V instructions with the D.Va kit (and decals). I am sorry if I caused any confusion. These are two wonderful kits that beg to be built, so go out and build them.

I was unable to edit the post which stated this. So let me make clear, the decals are correct unless you are interchanging one kits decals with the other kits instructions.
