Very, very nice, Drew. I'm thinking of building a number of Udet's mounts in 1/32 . . . finishing up the first one now.

Has anyone compiled a listing of all of the planes flown by Udet?

Thanks again, everyone.
Mark, I've seen a couple of lists of Udet's machines, but there are some questions.  I'm trying to do as many as possible in 1/48.  So far I have one albatross D.III, one Fokker D.VII, the D.VIII, and old and needing to be replaced Fokker E.III and triplane. From what I've read, Udet flew at least: a Taube, Aviatik B.III, 2 or 3 Eindekkers (E. II and IIIs), 2 Fokker D. IIs, 2 Albatros D. IIIs,  2 D. Vs, 1 D.Va, 3 Fokker Dr.Is,  and at least 3 Fokker D.VIIs in combat.  He flew the SSW D. III but in combat, and the Fokker D. VIII after the war. Oh, and he flew a captured Spad VII.

That's enough to keep me busy for the rest of my life!

Correction: 2 Fokker D. IIIs, one with the tin fake observer head behind the cockpit.

Awesome work, Drew!  Looks like the WNW kit.
Cheers,

I agree with Bud.  I forgot it was 48th.  Sweet looking Albi so far.
