Hans Müller Halberstadt D.III (full color)

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of the Halberstadt D.III of Vizefeldwebel Hans Müller of Jasta 5.  Müller likely scored Jasta 5's first air victory on 31 August 1916 and became one of its earliest aces.  After scoring his ninth victory, he was severely wounded in December 1916 and never returned to combat, instead acting as a test pilot for Siemens-Schuckert starting in 1917.  After the war he moved to Mexico where he ran a flying school, and he eventually immigrated to Texas, USA, where he died in 1977.

No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired.  The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit.  The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card.  You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:HalbD3-Muller-card.jpg.

Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks.  Both are robust materials and fine for gaming.   Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces.  "Matte HDFC" choice means the prints are spray-coated in the factory, and the difference with the coating is subtle.  You can find more material photos and comparisons at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35581-Material-HDFC-vs-Full-Color-Nylon-12-(MJF).
