Interesting is all you can say???
It's faked! It is all corrugated sheetmetal that the museum must have added (they did get the corrugation pitch correct). The radiator vents are all wrong too. Look at all the holes in the radiator surround. The prop is wrong (should be a Fok D7) and I think the exhaust collector might be wrong as well. Where are the guns?
Stephen,
This D.I was "restored" in 1974, now do you really think they knew what they were doing then? Same goes for the Smithsonian's Albatros D.Va lozenge colors (about same time period), they butchered those colors too.
Museums don't have the time & money to do things right....as you well know?
