Default Need info on Halberstadt fighters

I'm trying to gather some info on the Halberstadt D- series (II, III, IV) single seat fighters.
Ever since playing Red Baron I've had my eye on the Halberstadt D.II and hope one day to build a scale or semi-scale model.
The full flying/fully deflecting tail surfaces reminiscent of the Fokker Eindecker I find particularly appealing.
Which variant I'll build will mostly depend on the available information.
One excellent doccumentation source is the windsock datafile (Halberstadt fighters) which has some decent 3-views.
However, it caters more to the needs & requirements of plastic modelers and lacks some of the details specifically required for rc-modelling.
As such I don't have any good illustrations of the airfoils or values for wing incidences used on these fighters.
Would anyone know where I can look for them??

I'm aware that such details for any of these rarely modelled ww1 A/C are probably hard to come by so I reckon it might also be possible to adopt the airfoil and incidences of more common types such as the albatross (which has a similar configuration).

Hence my next request: anyone have any airfoils/ incidences for albatross fighters? (proctor kit for instance)


help is much appreciated!

cheers,
Trev
