This is a
full-color 1:144 3D print of Fokker Dr.I 103/17 of Lt. Werner Voss of Jasta 10. Voss was Germany's fourth leading ace in WWI (tied) with 48 air victories, of which 14 were earned with Royal Prussian Jasta 10. This represents the early triplane -- technically a Fokker F.I -- that he was flying during his last dogfight when he tangled with several planes from No.56 Squadron RFC. There is some debate on whether his engine cowl had been repainted chromium yellow or remained in factory olive...this version represents the former. The Fokker F.I differs from the standard Dr.I by the lack of wingtip skids and some other minor differences.
No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use. It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired. The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit. The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card. You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at

Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks. Both are robust materials and fine for gaming. Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces. "Matte HDFC" and "Smooth FCN12" choices mean the prints are oversprayed in the factory, and the difference with the overspray is subtle. You can find more material photos and comparisons at
