Known for his distinctive personal aircraft markings, he became one of the more recognisable German fighter pilots of the period and achieved 20 confirmed aerial victories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKissenberth's aircraft carried an imposing predominantly black fuselage combined with multicoloured lozenge camouflage across the wings. Large black and white German national crosses were applied over the wing surfaces, while a prominent white fuselage band and personal emblem provided additional identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model recreates the complicated printed camouflage pattern and simulated plywood construction associated with the Albatros fighter family. The contrast between the dark fuselage and brightly patterned wings makes this one of the most visually distinctive Albatros D.V releases within the Corgi range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Robert Thelen, the Albatros D.V was introduced as a refined development of the successful Albatros fighter series. Its streamlined plywood-covered fuselage provided strength and aerodynamic efficiency, while its Mercedes inline engine delivered strong performance for the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 1,300 pieces worldwide, this substantial release features simulated plywood fuselage panels, fabric-textured wing surfaces and fine structural bracing wires.
