"Heads up" VON-RICHTHOFEN FOKKER-E-III fans
Awesome....temptations!
So the first one that has all of MvR's planes in playable repaints has......a lot of planes.

This is a really good shot of an E.III. It wasn't until I was working on the latest template, for an E.IV, that I realized that the early Fokkers were controlled through "wing-warping," as were the Wright Flyers. So, no ailerons. How I missed that doing up the E.IIIs, I don't know.
The posted image clearly shows the control wires and rigging, and the lack of ailerons, for which I now know to look. The model even seems to emulate the caster oil soaking through the fuselage sides, and mottling the paint.

Great detail on the that model, but then there should be @ 1/48 scale.

I've done a Valom E.III as MvR's machine.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
You got the wires spot on on my Pfalz E.I card though, Mike, so well done on that score.

Will Ares produce a model of MvR's E.III in the Series 5 re-print? What do you think?

Those Corgi 1/48 scale models are excellent.
I have a number of them in my collection. SE 5a (Jimmy McCudden) Camel (McLaren) Fok D.VII (Udet) Fok Dr.I (LVR) Albatross D.III (Beaumer) Albatross D.Va (Bohning) &
Spad XIII (Willie Fry)
The price looks a bit steep as I purchased from a store in America & the price in US $ was around $50 US but that was a few years ago now.
Ooh I need to get one, not the Eindecker, but definitely something...

Just arrived
If anyone is wondering what the back box is underneath the E-III it's part of it's packing, alas it's held in with two crosshead screws, and I have misplaced my screwdriver.
That’s really nice
