My Lock-down 2020 Additions and Adjustments 2 Pfalz DVIII
The first of my new Lock-down creations the rare Pfalz DVIII created largely from cannibalized parts from some Tin Toys purchases and various bits of metal. As it was designed to use the same rotary engine the plane at first glance resembles the SSW DIII but has the double struts of the SPAD fighters as favoured by Pfalz in 1918 and a rounded tail.
I believe that Jasta 14 was fully equipped with the DVIII in the summer of 1918. if so then the minor Saxon ace Richard Rothe (the figure is also new)probably flew the type although the markings are at best conjectural.
