He transferred to Flik 42J in the Isonzo sector of the Italian front in October 1917, scoring his second victory during the Battle of Caporetto. During 1918, Hefty formed a strong friendship with fellow pilots Johann Risztics and Ferdinand Udvardy. Amongst the airmen of Flik 42J, the trio became known as the Arany Triumviratus (Golden Triumvirate).<br /><br />Hefty began marking the sides of his Albatros D.III with the number "6."

Now you know how I feel when looking ...HAHAHA Paul. Now you know how I feel when looking at my reference material. So many paint so little time. I have been forced to break up my profile gallery because of the amount of graphics per page. I have only done 3 Oeffag profiles today. I started working up to attack Aviatik-Berg aircraft so I may give you a break for a few day, perhaps...<br /><br />Thinking back... was it not you who said you hoped I did not run out of aircraft to post?<br /><br />I will check out that picture and see what I can do for you. MVR used so many aircraft it can be difficult to know which one someone is referring to I know I have a sweet one with a green, wood and red scheme, the wings are 3 part mauve and green if memory serves me. I know you also are not a fan of the all red schemes. It looks like you are going to give Lothar some support with this model.<br /><br />Drop me a line on my main site so I have somewhere to send you the file.<br /><br />Cheers<br />WillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744800442634708263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013909801988779086.post-66049179186128791232011-08-30T13:45:38.601-05:002011-08-30T13:45:38.601-05:00Stop!!!
