Hmmm  not quite actually!

 

The one? existing Replicas was flying a mock dogfight I think with a DR.1 at Airpower airshow a couple of years ago at Zeltweg/ Austria. It even.had a landing accident there  fortunately without serious consequences!

 

How do I get one though??

Of course I meant the aircraft type. And the article is not about the replica on the photo, it is about the original aircraft.

Thanks Björn for putting this here in BM
We were going to do that, but was not quite ready for that yet.

 

Assembly of the first test prints has shown the need to adjust and redesign a few parts, so work is ongoing.

 

We haven't quite figured out how the order process will work yet, but we will probably take orders by email when we are ready.

More detail will come.

You have to blame Tobbe for putting it on Facebook. 😄 Great news, thanks for making this model - it is so long anticipated! 👍

Nicely rendered! Are there any plans to offer this scaled up to 1/32 as well?

We'll see.
At the moment we have all focus on the 1/48 version.

Our interest is in 1/48 scale models, but if a demand for a 1/32 scale version is high enough and the sales of the 1/48 is good we might consider it.

Assembly of the latest test prints.

Overall the fit is very good, just some minor adjustment needed.
Left to do are the instructions and clear resin windscreen.
