-Revell model again, actually pretty nice piece of plastic.
-This is my first WW I model, and in the future I will made more of them. It's quite hard to find WW I models in 1:72 scale, but luckily I get this one from local supermarket. This model presents a new Revell production, or I think so, because the quality of mould and details are much superior, than older Revell models, I was made.
-The painting of the plane is overall red (tailfin is white) like the famous von Richthofen (Red Baron) plane was. I added details to the cocpit (instruments), stepping level (by the side of the cocpit), two handles (either side of the fuselage), I made them from fishing lash (very thin of). Same lash is used to made the riggings. In 1:72 there is not much room to made very fine details, but i'm quite happy with those I made.
-The plane is presented at my model gallery, next to SU-27. The design and development of the fighters are came a long walk.

Some info about the Fokker DR-1;
Controls -The skeleton of the control members is metallic. The rudder is balanced, and is of the familiar Fokker type without a fixed fin. The elevator is, however, quite different from the ordinary Fokker practice. There is a large fixed tail-plane in the form of a triangle with the outer corners cut away to make room for the forward-projecting balanced sections of the elevator, the tail-plane and elevator together forming a large tringle with rounded corners.
Fuselage -The fuselage is a girder construction of steel tubes covered with fabric. According to usual Fokker practice it is hexagonal in form, but ends up with a vertical stern-post, countrary to the usual Fokker practice in which the fuselage terminates with horizontal bar similar to the Morane.
Engine -The engine is an Oberursel rotary of 100 to 110 h.p., which is now practically a Le Rhone instead of being, as formerly, a Gnome. The airscrew is an "axial" with a diameter of 2.6m.
Undercarriage -This is of the usual type, but has a very deep streamlined axle. It is furnished with two relatively large wheels, 710mm. by 85mm. placed 1.6m apart. The streamlining of the axle is, in fact, so deep that it forms a fourth lifting surface.
Armament -Two fixed Spanday machine-guns are carried, firing throught the airscrew either together or separately. They are put in action by the motor, and are controlled by Bowden wire. source: Jane's fighting aircraft of World War I.
