About product

The real subject

The Fokker Dr.I is a single-seat German fighter of the First World War. The abbreviation Dr. in the designation refers to the triplane layout, that is three wings one above the other. Its short span and deep airframe gave the machine a silhouette that cannot be confused with anything else and made it famous among the aircraft of its day. The fabric-covered framework typical of the aircraft of that period is easy to read on the model in the large scale.

What to expect from the kit

The model is supplied as a set of parts to be assembled and painted. The 1:24 scale means a large model with room for detail in the cockpit and in the engine bay; the number of parts, the contents of the decal sheet and the choice of color versions are given in the instructions enclosed in the box.

Building and painting tips

  • Set the wings and the struts patiently, as on a triplane every deviation shows on all three wings.
  • Finish and paint the cockpit before you close the fuselage.
  • The fabric covering is painted in thin coats so that the structure underneath stays visible.
  • It is a good idea to prepare for the bracing wires in advance; the instructions show how they are run.
  • Choose the color version before you start, as both the decals and the shades depend on it.

Who it is for

The large scale and the assembly of a biplane, or rather triplane, structure make more sense for a more experienced builder. The reward is a striking model for the display case that stands up to a close look.

Terms of supply

The kit is supplied in its original packaging. Paints, glue and other supplies for the build are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The abbreviation refers to the triplane layout, that is three wings one above the other.

It has to be assembled. It is supplied as a set of parts that are put together, sanded and painted according to the instructions enclosed.

Rather not. Setting three wings and the struts calls for patience and a steady hand.

The 1:24 scale is one of the large ones, so it is a sizeable model with room for detail.
