Due to lucky circumstances I was able to see this model in real live last weekend - most impressive, really!
This is a masterpiece in all aspects, also the base with all the real looking wet puddles is great (if you see that you want to put the model to a dry place immediately).
Thank you for the nice talk, Andreas!

Thank you vey much, Bud and Frank!
Frank, your words honor me more than I deserve. It was a joy to meet you in person and to be able to look at your quarter scale masterpieces in reality.

Thank you!
Oh yes, Special Hobby released this kit in 1/48 scale long before their 1/32 version, have a look here:
https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/our-own-production/special-hobby/fokker-d-ii-black-white-tails.html
It has even the same boxart like the 1/32 kit, but the 1/48 box is blue, the 1/32 box is green...
There was another 1/48 kit made by Gavia, but I think that one is out of production:
http://www.internetmodeler.com/2000/february/first-looks/gavia_fokkerd2.htm
The Gavia boxart shows the 2nd, better known plane painted by Grünzweig. That one had camouflaged fuselage sides and running legs painted onto the wheel covers.

Andreas, the 1/48 D.II seems to be the same kit.
If you look at the sprues in your posted Gavia review and compare them against the PDF form Special Hobby, you will find no difference. So fo me it looks like, that Special Hobby has taken over the injection die from Gavia (as lately seen with the Pfalz E.I), after Gavia was going out of the business.
