Description
Assembly Required. Ages 12 & Up.
Introduced to the western front in June 1917, the General Staff released the Fokker Dr. I only after an extended test phase and following approval by the flying ace Manfred von Richthofen. The Dr. I was the most maneuverable of all the aircraft deployed at the time and achieved high climbing speeds. The Oberursel radial engine gave the Dr.I a maximum speed of 193 km/hour and enabled it to climb to 3000 meters in six minutes. Two Spandau MGs were installed forward of the cockpit. All the pilots in Richthofen's group flew red triplanes. Although the Dr.I was withdrawn from the western front at the end of 1917, the Red Baron continued to fly this type to bring down a total of eighty enemy planes before being shot down himself in April 1918. Features of this kit include a detailed radial engine and movable propeller, a detailed cockpit with control column, seat and pedals, structurally detailed wings, two Spandau MGs, landing gear with movable wheels, pilot figure von Richthofen plus two ground personnel figures and transfers with national ensign and markings.
