Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of the Albatros D.I 391/16 of Leutnant Karl Heinrich Büttner of Jasta 2. In late 1916 Büttner flew this monogrammed plane until it was brought down and captured by a B.E.2c of №8 Squadron RFC. After its capture, it was repainted with British roundels and was extensively tested. The exact dark shade used on the fuselage is unknown, but it is depicted here as the same red-brown used on the wings, since such paint was probably in ready supply.
This paint scheme assumes that — after its life as a prototype — 391/16 was repainted in the O.A.W. three-color camouflage scheme. Other experts assume it was repainted in Albatros factory colors.
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.
