Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Albatros D.I 435/16 of Oberleutnant Hans Bethge of Jasta 1. 435/16’s fuselage had previously been painted in camouflage colors, but when Bethge took it over, he had it painted in a single dark color. Dark blue is assumed, as it was in Bruno Schmäling’s Jasta Colors Volume 2. Bethge flew two-seaters and then, briefly, a Fokker Eindecker with Kagohl I, but he joined Jasta 1 when it was formed in August 1916. By January, he was given command of Jasta 30, which was later famous for its orange-diamond Pfalz D.IIIs. In the spring of 1918, after twenty air victories he was nominated for the Pour le Mérit (Blue Max), but he was shot down before he could receive it.
No painting is necessary — this model comes printed in full color, ready to use. The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card. You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme in the gallery on this page.

Shipping: Shipping varies from about US$7 to US$15 per order, depending on the destination country. See your cart for an exact number — the prices may vary with currency fluctuations. Orders over US$300 may get free shipping (but see the note on mixed materials).
Mixed Materials: Nylon prints are shipped from a different factory than resin prints, so if you place an order with a mix of Nylon and Resin, you will be charged shipping for each material, and each will arrive separately.
Taxes: Sales tax — where applicable — will be added for U.S. shipments. Value-added taxes (VAT) may (or may not) be collected by your postal carrier on receipt, which is known as “Delivery At Place”. Unfortunately, since my printing and shipping partner has no way of marking shipments as VAT-paid, this website cannot collect VAT on your behalf.
Customs: Most orders should be small enough to avoid customs duties, but you may want to check your local regulations. If duties are due, they may be collected by your postal carrier. E.U. customers may be able to avoid duties by keeping their order under €150.
