A replica of a rarity; the Halberstadt D IV

Hi Guys,

 

A photo shoot of a rather reclusive and rare Halberstadt D IV reproduction. The D IV variant itself was rare enough; only three were built, so it is a surprise to see a modern reproduction of it.

Good photo shoot of a lovely plane! I wonder if it'll be used as a basis for a new kit.

Excellent Pics, shame it's rather crammed in a corner. Do you know who created the reproduction, Is it one of TVAL's?

Hi fredsopwith, all I know is that it was built in the USA some years ago and registered N1388J at one stage. It has flown in recent years; it made appearances at the Classic Fighters airshow at Omaka, where it is based permanently now.

Reclusive? Isn't it on display at the AHC?

 

Built by Carl Swanson and formerly in Frank Ryder's collection.
