1/48th Fokker Tri-plane

[Musketeer]

Does anyone know where I can get a plastic kit of the Red Baron's tri-plane from? Must be plastic rather than resin.

Though I believe the DR1 will be released shortly as a single kit too.

Eduard is releasing one soon, but it's part of a two-pack, so the price may be high:

you dont want it to go with the sculpts you have just done for GB by any chance?

I'm led to believe that the Dragon kit is not so good as the Eduard one.... bearing in mind that it came from a modelling site, that may just mean something really petty.

Looks ok to me though, plus the Dragon kit will obviously be a lot cheaper.

I assume that´s mainly due to the fact that the Dragon Triplane is more than a decade old - I remember seeing it in the 1995 catalogue. Even though Dragon led the way back in those days, IP casting has significantly improved since then, so since the Eduard one is of newer vintage, I wouldn´t call it fair to find the DML one at fault.

[Musketeer]

It is actually going to be used as wreckage so it doesn't have to be too good a kit if I'm honest. the Dragon one will do if I can get one.

[Boggler]

The Smer kit isn't 1/48th but is much cheaper than the others and, as it'll be a crash victim, this shouldn't matter too much?
