"…With this review looking at this book through the eyes of a large scale modeller, we will absorb the reference material in order to enhance the available kits on the market. This being the Encore models Fokker F.1 and Roden Dr.I kit. A pretty good but basic platform to start detailing. Some after market sets are available for these kits. Photo etch by Part from Poland and Eduard for instance. But also Cutting Edge resin for the cowling and control surfaces. Great decals are offered by Cutting Edge and EagleCals. Add some Master barrels, HGW harness, Wooden prop and you're good to go! You might notice I haven't mentioned the HobbyCraft kit, which I indeed won't do. I know a lot of ww1 modelers are waiting for Wingnut Wings to treat us to their version of this subject, which I'm sure is only a matter of time. The Fokker Dr.I became most famous by one of it's pilots: Manfred von Richthofen, who used it to score 19 victories and in which he was subsequently killed in on April 21st 1918.

Sure looks a lovely book no matter how many wings it has. |

And monoplanes. No "Fokker Scourge" discussion allowed on this board. And discussion of Roland Garros' first kill is not allowed either. Biplanes only. The DR1 is radically different from the Sopwith Triplane, both dimensionally and construction. Not to mention that the airfoil of Reinhold Platz's cantilever wing was revolutionary and led directly to the fabulous Fokker DVII, the most influential design of the entire war…. |
