I've been working on the diorama setup and finding the figures I want to use for the different 'poses'.

13 resin figures in total. Aviattic's 'Richthofen', four personnel from Copper State Models, five from Model Cellar and three Black Dog.

Some of the figures have been reworked to fit the different tasks they are doing.

This is how I imagine this part of the diorama setup.

I assume the big guy is Goering?

 

I think not, Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen is the figure to the left with the 'Geschwader' stick.

 

The diorama will depict the Jagdstaffel 11 (Jasta 11) some time before the death of Richthofen, when the 'dreidekkers' were still adorned with the Cross Pattée.

The later Balkenkreuz was officially adopted in mid-April 1918 (about a week before the death of Manfred von Richthofen).

So I guess around the end of March beginning of April?

 

Hermann Göering assumed command of Manfred von Richthofen's JG I on 8 July 1918.
