I'll second Gerry's opinion about the Oeffag conversion. If you get
the 53/153 series, you can use this as a straight Albatros D.III.
I've used this conversion with an ESCI D.III - just because I didn't
have, nor could I find a Revell one - and besides the wing being a
tad small, worked fine. IMHO, the Austro-Hungarian Oeffag schemes
are "more colorful" than their German counterparts. A stippeled
fuselage with the sworl fabrics looks wonderful.
