This resin set includes:

  • one 9 cylinder air cooled engine 

  • photo etch parts for detailing

  • detailed front part of engine behind the propellor

There are 2 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  The instructions also include painting instructions.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

The Fokker Dr.1 was the German tri-plane made famous by Manfred von Richthofen (The Red Baron) in the later stages of WW1.  This rotary engine produced 110hp and was exposed on the bottom 1/3rd of the engine which makes this engine a very attractive choice for detailing this area of your Dr.1.

You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
