First of all, I like the Halberstadt D.III...for an early war plane it holds its own fairly well and is a maneuverable bird. And as there is a shortage of Nexus early war offerings, doing a couple of simple repaints to add more early war aircraft to the Wright Flight arsenal is within my capabilities as a modeler. I bought two Keudell Halbstadts some months back with the object of doing repaints. The first has already debuted here on the blog, a slightly purple hued light blue scheme (looks less purple on the table). This time I add Herman Goring's Halb D.III, an all slightly off white plane. On the table it looks less yellow and the white panels of the Eisenkruz do show. This was the bird that was severely damaged on August 9th, 1916 while in combat with three Nieuports. I hope you enjoy!
