The latest form FCM in 1/32 for Albatross D.III, D.V and D.Va is a welcome addition Giving 3 different markings that are really useable. First, the D.III of Otto Hunzinger's D.751/17 with Stylized "H" bands on a 3 tone camo for the wings with offset radiator on a natural wood fuselage. Then a D.Va with 5 color lozenge on the wings and additional camo-ed fuselage of Marine Jasta 1 of Haupt. Gottard Sashesenberg's checkedboard fuselage band. Pride of place is the Jasta 5 D.V with Mauve and Green camo and the spectacular mulitiple sized barber pole stripes of Friz Rumey. Hats off to Felipe Miranda for doing the difficult job of figuring how to make a decal on flat paper for a curved fuselage in such a scale. It was far easier to paint the real a/c that to do this decal. Both sides top and bottom views are provided in the instructions and should be carefully studied Also provided are masks to do the green and red tail. Thanks to FCM @ http://www.fcm.eti.br.

PS, Please note that Rumey's D.V is the March 1918 version with the white Fields on the upper wing and stripes on the lower wing different from the WNW kit decals.
