Few years ago I have
bought at local model contest this kit. It contains one complete plastic model
of the Eduard Fokker Dr.I plus three large sheets of photoetched parts. We use all
of the metal parts but only a few plastic ones. If some of you have seen these
Eduard Stripdowns already, then you know how tiny they are. However, I enjoyed
this build from the beginning. Even though the model itself is very small, just
about 7,5cm (2,9 inches) long and 10cm (3,94 inches) wingspan, everything fits
great. I was quite worried about final completion (especially about the
geometry) but luckily, it turned out quite good.

The kit itself is well
detailed but anyway I decided to add cables to rudder and elevator, ropes
between wing ribs, instrument dials from spare decals, small windshield on
the top of the middle wing, machineguns handles, rear-view mirror on the
right strut and valves on the inner side of wheel discs.
It took me about
three weeks to complete the little Fokker and I am looking forward to build
something similar soon.
Thanks for looking
PS: this kit is recommended for experienced modellers
