Albatros D.III 1/48

The Albatros D.III was a German fighter biplane deployed at the end of 1916, which became the dominant aircraft of the Luftstreitkräfte during the so-called "Luftstreitkräfte". "It combined a powerful Mercedes D.III engine with a pair of Spandau machine guns and an elegant design inspired by the French Nieuports. Although it suffered from structural problems in the lower wing, it became an icon of the German Air Force and was flown by famous pilots such as Manfred von Richthofen and Hermann Göring.
