They turned out okay, but I was less than thrilled with the sharpness and density – as in basically there isn’t any. I had just recently made decals for a Romanian MiG-21 with Testors Custom Decal System using decal paper for ink jet printers. It’s not as though I hadn’t done it before. There was just one problem – where could I find decals of such an obscure subject? The only real choice was to make the decals myself. I was enjoying an article focusing on the air war in the little known conflict between Turkey and Greece just after WWI, when to my surprise the author mentioned the roll played by a few Albatros D.IIIs! How cool is that? An Albatros in bright red Turkish crescent and star markings would certainly stand out on a table full of black crosses. I started working on the Eduard Weekend Edition D.III, planning on doing one of those flashy schemes, when I received my copy of “Small Air Forces Observer.” This excellent black and white newsletter covers interesting aircraft and histories of small air forces worldwide (if you’re interested in this sort of thing, contact the publisher, Jim Sanders at: ).
