This kit from the American brand Atlantis covers probably the best known aircraft of the First World War, the Fokker Dr.I triplane in the bright red finish Manfred von Richthofen made famous. It is a stylized and simplified model, that is, not an accurate reduction for a scale display case but a model built rather on a striking silhouette and on the pleasure of building. The scale is not given in the name, so look for the size on the packaging.
The Fokker Dr.I reached combat units at the close of 1917. Three flying surfaces one above the other gave it short wings, a small turning radius set by its span and an excellent rate of climb, for which it paid with a lower top speed than its monoplane rivals. It was powered by a rotary engine and carried a pair of synchronized machine guns. Its best known operator was Manfred von Richthofen, the commander of a fighter wing and the most successful fighter pilot of the war, whose red aircraft finish earned him the nickname the Red Baron. It is exactly the combination of an unmistakable shape and red color that makes this aircraft a rewarding subject for modelers of every level.
On a triplane the key point is to set the flying surfaces exactly one above the other and in line, and a dry assembly without glue and a check by eye from the front and from the side both help. A deep red shade often has weaker covering power, so it pays off to lay down a light base first and to spray the color in several thin layers. Finish the cockpit, the pilot's seat and the visible parts of the engine before you close the fuselage. The panel lines and recessed details are brought out by a dark wash, which you wipe away carefully once dry.
The model is supplied unassembled. Paints, glue and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
