Title: New 1/16th Fokker Triplane kit
Post by: Gisbod on February 25, 2017, 11:17:01 PM: Apologies if already posted, but I see that a Spanish company called Artesania Latina has produced a 1/16th kit of the Dr.1. Its a multimedia kit with metal tube framework, photo etch, wood etc parts. A camel is due later in the year.

It was on display at the Nuremberg show but curiously, I can't see any sign of it on their website?

Does anyone else have any more info?

That's a shame, thought it was a new kit. Still looks nice though...

The DR.1 kit is by the same company that produces the Sopwith Camel and can be found in the UK here:

The first two installments are already on the Russian news stands ( the model is distributed piece by piece with a weakly magazine)

Post by: Gisbod on March 02, 2017, 05:48:40 AM: Out of interest, I asked the editor of SAM as he told me about the Fokker (he was at Nuremberg) and his response was:

'All new to be followed by a Sopwith Camel'

Post by: Gisbod on January 09, 2018, 07:15:15 PM: Just as an update on this kit...

There’s a review of it in ‘Scale Aviation Modeller’ Jan 2018.

Appears to be an all new kit! At £299, but includes, cast metal, brass, PE and wood. Looks like it could be made into a super model...
