Albatros D.III Oef Benno von Fernbrugg 2024-05-04

This is a repaint for the Albatros D.III Oeffag by Captain Kurt. The repaint shows the aircraft 253.24 in the standard Oeffag standard scheme. Wooden and fabric surfaces were simply covered with a clear coat, and the metal panels on the fuselage were ‘machined’. The inter-wing struts and landing gear legs were painted with a dark colour, likely a dark grey. This particular aircraft was delivered in June, 1918, and was delivered to Flik 51/J, where it was flown in combat by Zgsf. Eugen Bonsch (16 kills), Korp. Josef Pfisterer, and above all, the CO of Flik 51/J Oblt.i.d.Res. Benno Fiala Ritter von Fernbrugg, who, with 28 kills, became the third most successful LFT pilot.

To use this repaint you should have the Albatros D.III Oeffag by Captain Kurt installed

CREDITS: Captain Kurt for his remarkable WWI models and Martin Wright for his indispensable DTX1 bitmap manipulator.

This should be it.

Enjoy,
