Albatros D.V D.7098 "Gisi" Jasta 77b
I'm building the old Airfix 1/72 Albatros as D.7098. Could the tail section have been bavarian blue and the stabilizers in prussian blue?
I assume the spinner and wheels were grayish green?   Another Jasta 77b Albatros:  Regards /Anton

Jasta77b markings.
Hi Side_Burns:
In the period, January to May 1918, when Jasta77b was commanded by Ltn. Walter Evers, the bavarian blue went forward on the fuselage to the edge of the white border on the fuselage cross. During this period, Jasta 77b was equipped with: Alb.D.Va and Pfalz D.IIIa. It is my opinion, Oblt. Otto Deindl established the Jasta 77b markings. The markings were continued to the end of the war with the Bavarian blue ending a the leading edge of the tailplane. My illustration of Oblt. Walter Evers's Pfalz D.IIIa 8151/18 is in the Forum Gallery. Click on Gallery under my picture, then scan for the Pfalz D.IIIa drawing. Happy New Year Anton, Dan-San Last edited by Dan_San_Abbott; 2 January 2010 at 07:11 PM. |

Bavarian blue is true.
Hi Side_Burns:
There was only one blue, Bavarian Blue. no dark blue. True blue is about the correct color. Take a look at a BMW Logo. That is the blue. Happy New Year Anton, Dan-San |

Ok, so its just the tailplane and not the whole tailsection that is bavarian blue? The slightly darker tailsection is bothering me.
Whole tailplane in Bavarian blue and converted into orthocrome (not b/w!)  Lt. Otto Fuchs Albatos D.V Jasta 77b: (Bavarian blue color ending just before the fuselage cross)  "In progress" picture of my "Gisi". Its the old Airfix Albatros D.V a lillte modified:
