He flew several types in his career. There are several places where you can find that information. He flew at least 8 Fokker Dr.I types (we have most by serial number), He flew at least 12-14 types of Albatros D. types (thats just the single seaters). If you pick a date I can tell you what he was flying at the time. Are you looking for something all red? partially red or very little red? He was even given a partially red Alb. C.IX as a personal hack (two seater) for flying to rear area meetings. He flew from part of1915 - 21 April 918.
Sticking to aircraft assigned to his use and what he scored the most in You are probably thinking Albatros D. III or D.V.

I guess it would be interesting to do Manfred's brother - Lothar's Fokker. I guess he also flew Fokker Dr.1, right?
Somewhere on Internet Modeller there were some colour profiles.
