Fokker Dr.1 Richthofen Model Kit

Product Description

Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron & his red Fokker triplane made history in the Great War. Introduced to the western front in June 1917, the General Staff released the Fokker Dr. 1 only after an extended test phase & following approval by the flying ace Manfred von Richthofen. The Dr. 1 was the most manoeuvrable of all the aircrafts deployed at the time & achieved high climbing speeds. The Oberursel radial engine (power output 110 PS) gave the Dr. 1 a maximum speed of 193 km-h & enabled it to climb to 3000m in 6 minutes. 2 Spandau MGs were installed forward of the cockpit. All the pilots in Richthofens group flew red triplanes. Although Dr. 1 was withdrawn from the western front at the end of 1917, the Red Baron continued to fly this type to bring down a total of 80 enemy planes before being shot down himself by Captain A. Roy Brown in April 1918. Model
