New Albatros DV in NZ

Apparently this is no longer a secret as it made the front page of the Wairarapa Times-Age in NZ yesterday.

A GREAT choice of markings, I must say!

Hi Russell,

My tired old eyes ARE failing fast---but does that say 80 H.P.?

Exquisite replica though.

It's a nice job they've made of it by the looks of things.

in Josef Mai's Albatros D.Va markings from Jasta 5...

The Albatros D.Va replica is in the markings of Jasta 5 ace Josef Mai (30 victories). Nicely done indeed!
