You colored this airplane in the book – here you can find it as a model kit, model or movie. In the book on page 9.
The fuselage is a "wrapped" shell: thin strips of plywood were laid over a mould and glued together, creating a smooth, light and strong skin. On the D.IIIa the two machine guns sat on top of the fuselage so the pilot could clear jams in flight.
