1/32 Albatros D.V/D.Va “Jasta 5” Green Tail Trilogy (Contains 3 Kit Sets)

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

From the manufacturer:

The Albatros D.V started arriving in front line service in May 1917 and was were arguably the best looking of all the Albatros aircraft of the First World War. The slightly improved D.Va followed 5 to 6 months later. The Albatros D.V and D.Va were manufactured in greater numbers than any previous German fighter of the war (only surpassed later by the Fokker D.VII, of which Albatros manufactured the great majority). Even after the introduction of the superb Fokker D.VII in April 1918, the Albatros D.V and D.Va could still be found equipping front line Jastas, although most had been relegated to training or home defense duties by the time of the Armistice. The Albatros D.V & D.Va featured in this model are from Jasta 5. Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 5 was formed in August 1916 and was credited with over 250 victories before hostilities ended with the Armistice on 11 November 1918. The Albatros D.V & D.Va flown by Jasta 5 received some of the most spectacular paint schemes seen during the First World War.
