The March 2003 issue features a large (31" wingspan) rubber-powered free flight Pfalz D-III. The big size permits lots of detailing with low wingloading. The model depicted in the magazine is a beauty.
That issue also includes a 24" Sopwith Triplane, electric-powered with radio control, as well as a small rubber free flight biplane called the Blip (featured in the August 1999 issue) that has been modified into a Sopwith Camel for Snoopy. Actually, it looks like a Boeing F4B with Sopwith wings and tail surfaces.
A non-WWI plane in the same magazine is a semi-scale rubber free flight model of a Canadian lightplane called the Found Centennial. It was one of the few high wing lightplanes with an strutless cantilever wing. Ironically, that might have been its undoing: bush pilots find struts very handy when manhandling a plane on pontoons.
