Nice repaint! Too bad the Red Baron flew in a Fokker triplane, not a biplane.

What then did he fly, and achieve 60 kills in, before April 21, 1918 when he received the Fokker triplane?

I'm a fan of the Ransack mold but I'm afraid this repaint doesn't do it for me. Mainly because the nice details of the sculpt is lost in the limited colour scheme.

According to Wikipedia (for what it's worth), he flew monoplanes and biplanes before getting the triplane in 1917.

"He returned to his Albatros D.III [a biplane] on 2 April, 1917 and scored his 22 victories in it before switching to the Albatros D.V [another biplane] in late June. Following his return from convalescence in October, Richthofen was flying the celebrated Fokker Dr.I triplane, the distinctive three-winged aircraft with which he is most commonly associated, although he probably did not use the type exclusively until after it was reissued with strengthened wings in November. Despite the popular link between Richthofen and the Fokker Dr. I, only 20 of his 80 kills were made in this now-famous triplane. In fact, it was his Albatros D.III that was first painted bright red and in which he first earned his name and reputation."
