In an email from Richard Alexander announcing the AEG releases, he also mentioned a "a new and improved colour scheme" for the Roland D.VIa. Sure enough, in the "Hints & Tips", an "errata" page for the instructions, and new photos, they show a variation on Scheme D, which is Emil Koch's machine from Jasta 32b. This concerns a different, but very similar machine from Jasta 32b, flown by Ludwig Marchner, white with dark blue stripes and tail surfaces, instead of black. They base it on new information from Bruno Schmäling & Greg Van Wyngarden, and the new pictures support this being a different machine - for one thing, the wheel covers are different. Marchner is among the fliers that Bruno Schmäling had interviewed over the years. I can hardly wait for his upcoming books, to see what other revelations he has up his sleeve!
Anyway, with one in my stash, I thought this would be an interesting alternative to consider. Hadn't seen it mentioned by anyone else, so wondered what others on here thought.
