An Exceptional Airplane Translated Into An Extraordinary 1:16 Scale Model
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 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. Cockpit is reproduced in authentic detail,
complete with 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 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.
