Albatros Productions Fokker F.I/Dr.I Special Vol.1 Book ALBATROS PRODUCTIONS

The first volume in our new Albatros WWI Scale Model Anthology Series is devoted to the legendary Fokker Dr.I Triplane flown by Germany’s leading WWI fighter pilots; the best known being Manfred von Richthofen and Werner Voss, both of whose iconic aircraft are covered in great depth.

This new book is the ultimate modellers’ guide to building, detailing and finishing 1:32 scale Fokker F.I and Dr.I plastic kits with particular emphasis on the Meng (ex-Wingnut Wings) models released in 2020 and 2021!

For serious modellers keen on getting the very best from the Meng and Roden kits, WWI aero-historian and author Ray Rimell, together with former WNW General Manager Richard Alexander, present 76 colourful and image-laden pages enabling modellers to achieve perfect results every time. With over 300 illustrations, this data-packed guide also focuses on a number of lesser-known aspects of this iconic warplane recorded for the very first time!
