Revell 04682 Fokker Dr.I Triplane (1/48) – plastic aircraft model kit

The Fokker Dr.I Triplane model by Revell in 1/48 scale is a unique offer for enthusiasts of historical aviation and modelers interested in breakthrough designs from the era of the earliest air wars. The catalog set 04682 lets you build a faithful replica of a World War I legend—the famous German triplane that made history mainly thanks to the ace pilot Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the "Red Baron."

Historical Information

The Fokker Dr.I Triplane was a fighter aircraft introduced into service in Germany during World War I in 1917. It was a response to the Allied success of the British Sopwith Triplane. The aircraft was famous for its remarkable agility and maneuverability, dominating air duels on the Western Front. It was this very aircraft that was made famous by the aforementioned "Red Baron," who achieved many victories flying it until his tragic death in April 1918. The Fokker Dr.I was used primarily by the German Imperial Air Service and produced between 1917 and 1918.
