Hi all, I reached out to Jan Bobek at Eduard and asked about the moulding and marking options. His response (posted with his permission) is -
"I did my best to provide all Albatros D.III markings and photos from my library, so there is large work-in-progress long list in hands of Product Manager, but final markings are not selected yet.
The moulds are being prepared by Nastrojarna (toolshop) Vandělik, but some inserts are tooled by our toolshop. Vandělik family is based East of Prague and they cooperate with us 20 years. For instance mould for 1/48 Albatros D.V is done by them too. If you search name Vandělik in search bar of info magazine, you will see we are talking about them. It is toolshop run by wife-husband team. Mrs. Vandělikova is lovely lady, one of hidden roses of Czech plastic industry.

I am sure they will be Happy about couple of new fans!"So if the old 1/48 Albatros DV moulds are anything to go by, we should get a crisp, clean product, I would think.
On Special Hobby and Pfalz's, I have also heard nothing, so would welcome any additional information on that topic if someone has any?
Cheers!
