Revell Red Baron

[malpaso]

I built this Revell Triplane a couple of years ago.  It was in a bargain dogfight double boxing with the Camel at Hobbyzone.  So far its the only kit I've built larger than 1/72 since returning to the hobby.I haven't started the Camel yet...

The build was fairly straightforward, the parts all fitted together well considering the moulds date from 1957 so are 6 years older than me.  The only mod was to provide symmetrical ailerons as the kit replicates the one that was captured and well publicised (with drawings in Flight) during WW1 that had different each side.  The different ailerons were due to a change over in the factory, or more likely Fokker just didn't care as their quality control probably killed more Fokker pilots than the RFC!

Very nice model, I particularly like the prop, it looks like real wood.
