Ohhhhh, the oft-unsung two-seaters! Flyable as two players? Flyable at all?

Gennadich is making a very strong brew for us all!
Just the pictures... intoxicating!

Perhaps I should drink Stoly to calm down?

Very nice work on the aircraft and cockpit models. I know your doing some new ground objects and trenches, but can the smoke effect be changed to simulate it being spread by the wind?

Yes, but does it have secondary armaments?

(bricks, grappling hooks, rifles, etc.?)

Beautiful models as always!

But just one thing.

Isn't the wing radiator of the Albatros D.III supposed to be placed right in the middle of the top wing?

This wing radiator is deported on the right, but on the Albatros D.V (even some of the early D.V's had the wing radiator in the middle).

Btw, the Austrian-build D.III variants had too the wing radiator placed in the middle of the top wing.

I just noticed that the Oaw-built variant had the radiator placed to the left!

http://wwi-cookup.com/albatros/diii_oaw/kitreview_eddiii_oaw.html

So, my humble request: would it be too possible to have a D.III variant with the radiator in the middle of the wing?

I must confess, I find über-ugly asymetric elements either on a plane, on a car or.... on a girl :-)


Btw, a flyable Austrian D.III would be fantastic:

early D.III`s - yes, later oners - no.
heres is an exeption (sorry for jpg - im just laz to type alot \:D )



so the only 306 machines with center radiator from 1346 built.

and a picture, which also shows a good example of camo scheme:

no (at least at the moment), there is some more different models to do

maybe, after release, if everything will be ok...
why not? ;\)

Question:

Shouldn't the tail on the model be squared off as it is an Alb. DIII and not rounded like the DV/DVa series?

Barkhorn.
