Dab-San, You've picked out the two airplanes from the Great War that do it for me, also. As a matter of fact, I have a 1/4th scale N-28 framed up in the basement. In the process of reading up about this airplane, I found a real deal on the book "The Hat in the Ring Gang", by Charles Woolley, for $20.00. I knew that the N-28 powered with the Gnome engine, created problems for this airplane; but, was unaware that the Hisso engine was almost as problematic for the SPAD XIIIs! At least this is the picture painted by Woolley.

Back to the Pfalz, I have Tom Polapink's plans for his 1/5th scale Pfalz DIII/DIIIa and I glom onto any information on the Pfalz I can find. Besides the larger horizontal Stabilizer, rounded lower wing tips and the bigger engine, are there other differences between the DIII and DIIIa?
