Pete, it should be about 13 1/4". The Eindeckers I thru IV had 10.05 meter wingspans, although the E-1 also had a short wingspan version of 8.95 meters. At 10.05 meters, this works out to just about 13 1/4" in 1/30 scale. P.S.- I can take no responsibility for my very limited math abilities. My conversion might be off by a tick, but should be close enough.:rolleyes2: -- Al

Definitely a candidate for a stand.

For sure. While I can fit 4 of the compact Fokker triplanes on a shelf, I think only 2 Eindeckers would fit comfortably on the same type shelf. The Eindecker is a surprisingly large aircraft. It is a good 9 inches long in the fuselage as well as the 13 1/4" in wingspan. That is a tick longer in the fuselage than even the relatively large Fokker D-7. -- Al
