Model Airways DR.1 FOKKER TRI-PLANE 1:16 SCALE

This historically accurate airplane reproduces virtually every detail of original Fokker Dr. 1. We've translated this famous WWI fighter into a 1:16 scale kit that builds into a realistic replica. We use laser cut basswood and birch plywood, accurate Britannia metal castings, brass, copper, aluminum, steel and rubber. 

The most interesting feature of the Model Airways Fokker Dr.1 kit is its open airframe. Normally hidden under layers of cloth or canvas, we leave the laser-cut wooden ribs and cast metal frames uncovered to show the intricacies of construction.

You'll find cast metal fuselage bulkheads, wing ribs and pilot s seat, basswood fuselage stringers, and wing rib caps. The cockpit is reproduced in authentic detail, complete with a tachometer, gauges, and compass. An authentic 9 cylinder Oberursel UP II rotary engine, comprised of over 33 highly detailed Britannia metal parts, is a marvel of miniature design with a carburetor, oil pump, spark plugs, and valve springs. 

The Fokker Dr.1 from Model Airways is sure to impress any modeler looking for superior detail, unsurpassed authenticity, and uncompromising quality of materials. Six sheets of blueprint quality plans and a 54 page illustrated instruction manual pave the way to a museum-quality masterpiece.
