albatros
Posted by NEPTUN on Wednesday, September 24, 2003 5:11 PM
hi

my question is : the albatros d2 and albatros d3
they had the same fuselage?
In eduards kits in the albatros d3 the panels in front
cooling area are the same like albatros d5 but in
eduards albatros d2 are different.
For my sources i think that the d2 and d3 had they same fuselage but this change from albatros d5 .
I am correct or not.Any help will be very welcome


Thanks

After looking at some line profile drawings and reading, I would say YES, they have the same fuselage. The Dlll differed from the Dll in the following: lower wing was narrower than top and both sets of wing tips were tapered, the parallel wing struts were replaced with a single "V" strut on each side. Finally the 'panels in front
cooling area' - if you are referring to the radiator in the top wing, both early Dll and lll's had them centrally located but were then moved to starboard side of center to minimize the danger of pilot scalding if the radiator was punctured by a bullet.

I am referring to the panels in the front of the fuselage.
