I see WNW have announced a new set for its Albatros D.V/D.Va based "Jasta 5" Green Tails. You get three complete kits to build either D.V or D.Va with decals for 11 different planes. Due out in July.

This should make a lot of people very happy who missed them first time around though at about $190 for the boxed set, they won't be cheap. That said, having to buy 3 kits in this boxing should be about the same price as buying just one would probably have cost on a certain internet auction site in about 12 months time as the WNW Alb DV /DVa kits became (or did) even harder to find with being O.O.P.

Hi there

My budget's shot for some time after the Camel and LVG so I'm safe , but I've got to wonder if 3-in-a-box is maybe one too many? Otherwise, I'm sure I could find a way to justify buying an Albatros with one spare for the Stash , but this would definitely be a very long-term investment for the likes of me.

All the best

At my current rate of building /stash depletion I would start the first of the three when I'm 196 years old- closing in on 64 now so you do the math for completion of all three - Richard
