Responsibility details are not available.
This injection-molded plastic kit captures the German Fokker E.III fighter monoplane of the First World War. It is a modern tooling with fine surface detail, and the box holds a clear part and decals. The wingspan of the finished model is roughly 140 mm. The kit builds well and also suits an entry into the world of First World War aircraft; the rigging calls for a little patience.
The Fokker E.III was the most widespread version of the Eindecker line and became the symbol of the so-called Fokker Scourge of 1915 and 1916. Its main strength was not its flying qualities but the synchronizing gear, which made it possible to fire a machine gun straight through the turning propeller. Thanks to that, German pilots could aim the whole aircraft and gained a temporary ascendancy over the Western Front. The aircraft, with its wing braced by wires, was controlled by wing warping and stood at the beginning of organized fighter aviation.
Separate and clean up the small parts carefully and glue the joints with thin modeling cement. It is best to paint and assemble the cockpit and the engine before closing up the fuselage. Matte shades suit the covering, which on the real aircraft was stretched fabric; the rigging can be added from fine drawn thread or fiber. Gloss-coat the surfaces before the decals and knock them back to matte afterwards.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
