Fixed-wing aircraft model REVELL Fokker Dr.I Richthofen assembly kit, scale 1:28, wingspan 26.2 cm

REVELL Fokker Dr.I Richthofen assembly kit in 1:28 scale reproduces the famous German triplane flown by Manfred von Richthofen. The kit builds a display-ready fixed-wing model with a wingspan of 26.2 cm and a width of 211 mm. It contains detailed injection-moulded parts to recreate the characteristic three-wing layout, radial engine, cockpit, armament and undercarriage. Adhesives and paints are not specified in the kit contents and must be obtained separately.

Advantages

The kit provides finely moulded components that capture the structural wing detail, a detailed radial engine and a movable propeller for realistic presentation. The cockpit includes control column, seat and pedals, while the undercarriage features movable wheels. Included figures — the pilot Manfred von Richthofen and two ground crew — add diorama and display options. Scale accuracy and clear surface detailing make the model suitable for display and historical collections.

Suitable for

• Scale model display and shelf exhibition

How to use

Carefully follow the supplied assembly instructions to separate and test-fit parts before gluing. Prepare surfaces by removing flash and mould lines, then assemble sub-assemblies such as fuselage halves, wing sections and undercarriage. Install cockpit components and figures prior to closing the fuselage if recommended in the instructions. Paint components as desired using compatible model paints; allow sufficient drying time between coats. Attach decals after painting and a clear coat to protect markings. Use model-specific adhesives appropriate for plastic kit assembly.

Usage recommendations

For best results, perform a dry fit of major components and use thin-model cement for internal bonds and thicker adhesive for load-bearing joints. Fine brushes and an airbrush are recommended for accurate painting of the radial engine, cockpit and aircraft markings. Work in a well-ventilated area and store small parts in a tray to avoid loss.
