I bought a triplane out of impulse today. $5 Revell and $4 Airfix kit caught my eye, but having built the Revell kit maybe 30 years ago and just torturing myself with the Airfix Sheridan, I decided to aim for a good quality kit.
Has anyone had any experience with this plane? It is 1/72 scale and kit #7016. It includes PE and some Eduard express masks. Not a bad looking kit, impressive detail. I didn't realize it would be so small though.
Chose the Fokker Dr.1 because a local station plays that Snoopy/Red Baron Christmas song often. And because it does not have a lot of rigging. Almost picked up Udet's Fokker E III, but that monoplane looked like there were too many strings hanging around.
