Have one of these (or is it a DIV?) so will be following intently.

The DIV is the one with the very narrow chord wings.

another nice little plane of yours I hardly no nothing about!!

 

looks good already, but I'd had to read up on it!....

 

 

Before Eduard released this kit, we didn´t really know this type either 😁

My dad wanted to build a WW1 fighter after a longer pause and I suggested this to him. Looks easier to build, not that much rigging and no single-piece wing struts.....let´s see how it will turn out...

Nice work so far .BTW it is a DIII in my stash, same kit, different boxing. 

 

The DIII (and DIV) was (were ?) actually considered to be the best German fighter(s) of the war, but like the Martinsyde Buzzard (also considered the best British fighter) it was just a bit late to the table.

Looks like it is coming along pretty well, nice work!

Interesting little airplane this is => your post made me want to know a bit more about this fighter and i just bought the Windsock Datafile.

Now i want to build one too! Hmmm, maybe a good excuse to visit the local hobby shop again sometime soon 😁

Will follow your post with interest.
