Metal Earth Fokker Dr.I 64-Part Kit

This steel model kit reproduces the World War I triplane flown by Manfred von Richthofen. It contains 64 precision-cut parts that assemble into a detailed replica with landing gear. The moderate difficulty level suits adult collectors and hobbyists who enjoy hands-on assembly. No glue or paint is required to complete the model.

Assembly Experience and Display

Tweezers or similar tools are recommended to handle the small steel components during construction. The kit arrives in a brand-new, officially licensed box with manufacturer's original packaging. Once assembled, the model measures approximately 3.22 inches long, 4.1 inches wide and 1.88 inches high. The finished piece has no openings and serves as a display collectible.

Historical Triplane Replica

The design replicates the distinctive three-wing configuration that gave the original aircraft superior maneuverability in dogfights. Richthofen's crimson paint scheme earned him the nickname 'Red Devil' among French pilots before it became 'Red Baron'. This model captures the true-to-scale exterior detail of that famous fighter. Buyers who want a larger scale or a kit with moving parts should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 64 steel parts without glue or paint, and which step do people get wrong?

Use tweezers to fold tabs and insert them into matching slots on each sheet; the step most often missed is folding every tab fully flat before moving to the next piece so the tri-wing structure aligns.

What maintenance or replacement will the completed model need later?

No ongoing maintenance is required; the steel sheets do not corrode under normal indoor conditions, and no consumable parts are used in assembly.

What is the first limit that appears when handling the assembled triplane repeatedly?

The thin folded tabs can fatigue if the 3.22-inch long model is flexed often, so treat it as a display piece rather than a toy.
