KOSCIUSZKO ALBATROS 'COOPER'
1/72 Scale
#72103

WWI era Austro-Hungarian Albatros D.III (OEF) S.253 fighter
evolved from a German design in Polish service and flown by
American Merian C. Cooper against the Bolshevik Russians.

The kit features a well rendered injection-molded airframe
(ex-Roden tool) with Austro-Daimler engine, fine 'fabric over
frame' effects and cockpit interior - all enhanced with resin
parts (exhaust stubs, forward bulkhead, machine gun receivers,
tires/wheel rims, axle pins, wire wheel form) and photo-etch
detail upgrades (cockpit floor, rear bulkhead, seatbelts,
instrument panels, fuselage vents, inspection covers, radiator
faces, undercarriage strap, wire wheel disks). Colorful decals
are provided for Cooper's 'White 5', serial S.253.218 during the
winter to early summer of 1919-1920 including dizzying 4-color
'sworl' camouflage and Polish American Kościuszko squadron
badges.
