1967 or 68 was when I built the first one.
Actually, I have to revise my guess for Fredo's airplane. Since the .elevator tips at the trailing edge are sort of squared off, and the long wingspan, my guess is that Fredo's plane is a Champion, also a Biesterfeld design.

You got it Werner. It is indead the Graupner Champion. The 3rd of the
Biesterfeld designs in the series. The Super Stunter and Ultra Stunter being the other 2.
I'll [post some more construction pics soon. Model is still at the undercoat stage as we have had and still are getting bad windy weather, totally unsuitable for spraying.
It will be painted in the same colours as the kit box. Ronald Valentine still has this kit available for about $300.00 US I think. He can keep it at this price.
Cheers
Fredo
