Don,
It doesn't matter, because both models are too far from the original.
No kit on the market offers the original EIII airfoil.

@slope Pilot,
I think the best way is to make it better with a few simple details and not to build a new model.
Make a good finish and with a few small details you'll get a reasonable fun model.

Greeting Matz
Here's one.

My Dad's friend Jay has most all the Proctor kits, and some Glenn Torrance kits, including the Eindecker. He also has the BUSA .90 size converted to electric, it makes me wonder why he evan bothered with the BUSA kit. The only things I want are: full flying rudder, full flying elevator, scale tailskid, and dummy engine.

@slope Pilot, that's nothing to do with scale.
The model has only a few elements like the original EIII, but not the original ribs.
Have you ever seen a Fokker EIII in original?
You talking about full flying rudder, full flying elevatorbut you know these things only from the pictures.
The BUSA Fokker needs a damping Tail.
