von richthofen????

hmm I've been told this is a squadron emblem rather than a personal one as I had originally thought, there may be hope yet

Yeah that'll definitely be a Sqn emblem (I'm current RAF aircrew), can't find it on Google but I'm convinced I've seen it before - try Luftwaffe museums?

von richthofen's squadron was Jg71, but that's not their emblem!

oh poop, just read...

The unit marking was a black and white band wrapped around the fuselage just behind the cockpit. Each pilot selected/designed a personal marking that would be painted aft of the unit marking between it and the fuselage cross.

It could be a Bavarian regiment/squadron, as the flag of Bavaria has those blue and white diamond shapes on it. wiki linki

oh my eyes!

actually I think you on to something there, quick search on 'Bavarian Lion' and yip that looks like what its based on. Great detective work

cheers

Biggish photo in my archive if any help?

WOW you found it!!!!

superb huge thank you thats a massive help & just what I needed

thanks again

It was actually fun trying to find it as strange as that sounds. I found it in a PDF document called (Profile Publications, Profile No.9, "Albatros D.V". If you Google that, the top result will take you to the download page for the PDF, it might be useful for reference as it has a couple of diagrams of the plane your are modeling though I would note that the Emblem is facing the wrong way on the left side as the lion should be facing forward on both sides.
