Revell Of Germany Fokker Dr.1 PL Triplan

Very great model, comfortable and engaging difficulty of assembly and paint. The decals did rip quite often, but with careful treatment this could be avoided or fixed.Try not to fly too close to British lines on this, though.

This was a easy and fun build, I have about 15 hrs to build,detail, and paint. It could be thrown together in an hour.For the painting, I chose to paint in the Red Baron's brothers plane. Luther Von Richtofen.I think I did well on the wings and fuselage to replicate Luther's 2 tone paint pattern.I also decided to use it in a WWI diorama To honor my Great Uncle Joseph Dick Offord who was killed in WWI. 2 Feb 1915.2nd Battalion,East Surrey Regiment. They had been in France just 10 days. Between 10 Feb and 15 Feb 1915 1000 went, only 200 remained. They were slaughtered while advancing in knee and hip deep mud. My Uncles body was never recovered. I supposehe is buried in the mud, now a memorial site Ypres Belgium,A sample pic of a diorama is here however this isn't the diorama it will be in, the pic is just a quicky put together of interest.It is a WWI Battlefield and what is supposed to be a trench ad command post. Made this in bout 15 min.The diorama base that it will be in is also pictured here.

Completed model is small (scale on box warns of that) but does come out looking good. Grandson who is 8 was able to assemble with just a little help. Did offer us a good opportunity to talk about how planes were in WWI so glad I bought

I should've payed more attention to the details. The model, after it is put together, is about 3" long, very easy to put together, all parts fit well. Took me about an hour to put together. Other than it's size, great model!

Very small

Awesome thanks

Buyer beware. Mine did not come with any decals, just the tiny red pieces that are incredibly challenging to remove and assemble. TINY pieces.

Cute small great for modeling
