The plane on top page 28 was discussed awhile back and it was the opinon of many that this plane undergoing a cross change could not be 477/17 because the landing gear airfoil was a type used on later Dr.Is .

Then I can not understand how the all red Dr.1 from Lechelle in March, prior to the change in cross markings, could be the same DR.1.
They are not the same plane. There is a picture showing the two planes in their relative positions taken from a distance.

If the photo on top of page 28 is not 477/17, could you please point out where I can find a picture of it, I really like to build a model of 477,(when it was not all red). There are no confirmed pictures of 477/17 in the scheme you are seeking just the disputed after action reports mentioned above.

I am very sorry if I am mixing something up, I am a bit confused. I am absolutely not an expert like you guys.

Thank you all.

Kind regards

Below is a link to a long discussion about MvR's triplanes with the pic mention above.
