The Encore products I've seen are not original kits. They are repops
of other manufacturers' products. They are distributed by MMD (aka
Squadron Mail Order), but no idea whose molding machines are used.
Quality varies according to the quality of the original molds. Some of
the aircraft are old Heller items. Other products are from defunct
Eastern European makers.

Could be the Toko/Roden kit if 1/72.  If it's larger I don't know.

It IS the Roden kit.  The decals are for a D.IIIa, but you could
actually build it as a D.III if you want.  All of the parts are there
for either version, just as they are for the Roden kit of the Pfalz D.III.
