This is the second Albatros D.Va reproduction built by The Vintage Aviator Ltd (Wellington, New Zealand), and it's shown here displaying at a recent airshow, shortly before being shipped off to its new home with owner Kermit Weeks.

I would love to know how much this replica costs to build. Or to simply buy from a builder.

What a gorgeous plane. One of my all time favorites! Love the idea of WWI planes with spinners and monocoque fuselages.

Did I imagine a six ship formation of triplanes in the background a few times?

[MrJp990]

Does it have a version of the engine that it would have used in ww1?
