Fokker Dr.I 1:72 - plastic kit from Roden

Injection-molded plastic kit of the German Fokker Dr.I fighter triplane of the First World War in 1:72 scale from Roden. The model has a finely rendered engine, cockpit and armament and separate moving surfaces. The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted; for the contents of the box and the number of finishing options, follow the enclosed instructions.

The real subject

The Fokker Dr.I is the best-known German fighter of the First World War - the triplane that went down in history as the aircraft of the Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen. It was powered by a rotary engine and, thanks to its three lifting surfaces, excelled in rate of climb and agility in close combat, though at the cost of a lower top speed. It was armed with a pair of synchronized machine guns and became a symbol of the fighter arm of its era.

Building and painting tips

This is a small and delicate model with thin parts, so use thin modeling cement for plastic and work patiently. Finish and paint the engine and the cockpit before you close up the fuselage. Triplanes have less external bracing than classic biplanes, but it is still worth suggesting the bracing wires with fine thread. Spray the base coat over a primer; the colorful period schemes suit both an airbrush and careful brushwork.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of First World War aircraft
  • For collectors of fighters in 1:72 scale
  • For modelers who enjoy delicate period aircraft and colorful schemes
  • For anyone interested in the legend of the Red Baron

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

The model is small and delicate, with thin parts. A patient builder will manage it, but a complete beginner should expect careful handling and delicate gluing.
