Are you building a replica? or a Model? Anyways my opinion of the best "fighter" plane of WWI(assuming we are only talking forward gun, pursuit planes and saw action) would have to be the Sopwith Snipe. Taking the best qualities of the Camel(manuverability) and some added speed I think it had edge over the D7 if only very slightly.

I'm assuming you are talking about 1 VS 1 fights comparing scouts. Some planes are better at chasing down 2-seaters(the primary role of scout planes). Some are better at surviving in(spads).

If you said best fighting plane including 2-seaters I would have said Bristol Fighter.
