Think about putting aluminum tape on the cowl and front of the fuselage to simulate the Eindecker's brushed aluminum. SR Batteries has a good descriptoin of how to do it and sells some of the supplies you'd need.
The original EIII did NOT have brushed/machined aluminum...and the description on the SR Batteries site is completely inaccurate. It's just one more example of the "modeler's fantasy eindecker" having almost entirely eclipsed the real EIII.

Don't look too hard at documentation of the original. You might not like what you find.
