About product

Albatros W.4 (late version, 1:72, Roden)

Kit of the German First World War floatplane fighter in 1:72 scale, in its late production version. It is an injection-molded plastic model from Roden. The box contains plastic parts on sprues, a decal sheet and building instructions.

The real subject

The Albatros W.4 was a floatplane fighter biplane derived from the land-based Albatros machines, intended to defend the German naval bases along the Flanders coast. In place of landing gear it had a pair of floats. The late version received four ailerons and radiators built into the wings, along with slightly shortened struts between the fuselage and the floats, which improved handling. It was a fairly rare and specialized type in Imperial German naval aviation.

Building and painting tips

Seating the floats on the slender struts calls for patience; glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue and take care over the correct dihedral of both wings. Once it is assembled, add the rigging. Paint the cockpit and the engine before you close up the fuselage; an airbrush is ideal for the fabric areas and for any lozenge pattern. Apply the decals over a gloss base.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of First World War aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • For lovers of naval aviation and floatplanes
  • For more advanced modelers used to biplanes and rigging
  • For anyone interested in rarer specialized types

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The late machines received four ailerons and radiators built into the wings, along with slightly shortened struts between the fuselage and the floats, which improved handling.

No. The Albatros W.4 is a floatplane fighter; in place of landing gear it has a pair of floats and it was intended for naval aviation.

Seating the floats on the slender struts and rigging a biplane are more demanding, so the model is better suited to more advanced modelers.
