WnW Albatros D.V completed

Stick a fork in it, it's done! (WIP thread here)

Markings are for the eleventh of Manfred von Richthofen's 18 known fighters. Although he scored only one victory (no. 57) in this machine, it is noteworthy due to the fact that it was this one that he was flying on 6 July 1917 when a bullet from an F.E.2d creased his scalp, taking him out of action for over three months.

This is one of the sharpest looking models I've ever seen here! And I've seen some sharp ones, too. Wow, this is how it should be done; a perfect blend of weathering and subtle paint effects.
