The publication I regard as the most important new title for WW1 modellers to be published this year – Ray Rimell’s Fokker F.1/ DR.1 modeller’s guide has arrived for review and it’s everything we hoped for, and a whole lot more.
The Forum will be running an in depth review in the next few days but those needing the perfect reference resource for their Meng or Roden 1/32 kits can be assured everything is here.
The publication from Ray’s Albatros Productions is the first volume in the new Albatros Productions WW1 Scale Model Anthology series devoted to the Fokker Triplane. Volume Two is in preparation.
Volume One is by Ray Rimell with detailed input and notes from former Wingnut Wings General Manager Richard Alexander. Both the Roden and Meng Triplane kits are featured including Meng’s acclaimed 1/24 kit.
Werner Voss and Manfred von Richthoften machines are explored in detail and there’s too much goodness to single any specific section out here. Lavishly illustrated with much Ronny Bar artwork throughout, this is a real feast for Triplane fans.
There’s detailed build logs for Werner Voss and Manfred von Richthofen machines and that’s just the start.
The publication is available from the webstore at
www.windsockdatafilespecials.co.uk at £28 but is for sale at a special launch rate of £27 for a limited time, plus post and packing.
Stay tuned for the detailed review!
