Albatros D. Va (1917) 4-View
June 1969 American Aircraft Modeler
Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences.
Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that,
were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day.
I have been scanning and posting excerpts from my collection of AAM and AM, concentrating on model building articles and old advertisements. Whether you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Here is the color 4-view for the Albatros D.Va that I electronically scanned from my purchased copy of the June 1969 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. You might be able to scale up the image below if a source for plans is not available. Plans for this fine model were drawn by Mr. Björn Karlström. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
"The Albatros D.V was a fighter aircraft used by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Air Service) during World War I. The D.V was the final development of the Albatros D.I family, and the last Albatros fighter to see operational service. Despite its well-known shortcomings and general obsolescence, approximately 900 D.V and 1,612 D.Va aircraft were built before production halted in early 1918. The D.Va continued in operational service until the end of the war. " - Wikipedia
At least at one time, the AMA Plans Service offered full-size plans for the 1917 Albatros D. Va and other models at a very reasonable cost. They will scale the plans any size for you. Try out my Scale Calculator for Model Airplane Plans.
