Siemens-Schuckert D.IV - Is it coming soon?

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Like the sound of all these monoplanes, but what of the great little German Gem the Siemens-Schuckert D.IV, a great little nimble fighter. Unlike many of the mono' s this saw combat with Jasta 15 amongst others. Would this not be a great aircraft to produce and it would compliment the Fokker VII's.

Its a nice little plane. So far I've had no luck finding good 3-view plans of it.
