Dave Fleming Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Not specifically, although there is a fair bit about many of them in the appropriate Windsock publications. It is a special interest of mine, so I can help with some of it! Got quite a few images The EIII was E210/15, now preserved in the Science Museum - I've only ever seen two photo of it in British markings, one side on and this one here: http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/upfiles/55790/Hf99476.jpg Albatros - you are almost spoilt for choice, as the British had D1, II, III, and multiple V and Va examples You also have Hannover, Fokker DVII, EV, DFW, Pfalz etc etc, even some Gotha GVII and Friderichshafen bombers Edited March 10, 2013 by Dave Fleming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickT Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Pheon models released a sheet of captured aircraft markings in 1/48 and 1/32 at the Nationals last year. I don't remember what was on them, but if you get in touch with Rowan I'm sure he'll let you know. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the British captured Triplanes seem to have been given RFC roundels or test flown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
