Forget plastic. Build history from the bones up.
The Model Airways Fokker Dr.I Triplane is not your standard model airplane kit. It is an uncompromising, museum-quality masterclass in historical structural replication. Designed by master modelers for true craftsmen, this 1:16 scale kit strips away the fabric skin to leave the intricate, laser-cut wooden ribs and cast-metal fuselage completely exposed.
If you are looking for a weekend plastic glue project, this isn’t it. But if you crave a deeply engaging, highly technical bench-work experience that challenges your skills and results in a jaw-dropping conversation piece, your next build has arrived.
🛠️ The Ultimate Builder’s Kit:
A True "Structural" Build: Because this is an open-airframe (skeleton) model, every ounce of your craftsmanship stays permanently on display. You aren't hiding your hard work under layers of canvas or plastic—the authentic internal stress lines, wing ribs, and mechanical bracing are the star of the show.
Authentic, Premium Materials: Say goodbye to cheap plastic sprues. This kit relies on aircraft-grade laser-cut basswood and birch plywood, robust Britannia (white) metal castings, brass, copper, aluminum, and steel. You will bend, shape, and machine materials exactly like the pioneering engineers of early aviation.
A Mini Mechanical Marvel: The heart of this kit is the legendary 9-cylinder Oberursel UR II rotary engine. Comprising over 33 individually cast Britannia metal parts, you will assemble the carburetor, oil pump, spark plugs, and microscopic valve springs for an incredibly realistic internal layout.
Intricate Cockpit Detailing: The cockpit is reproduced in authentic, naked-eye clarity, complete with individual gauges, a tachometer, a compass, and precision-cast twin Spandau machine guns.
🧠 The Challenge is the Feature (Advanced Difficulty)
Rated at an Advanced Level, this kit is intentionally designed to test and grow your problem-solving abilities. It offers weeks of premium, immersive entertainment value. You’ll get to clean and file heavy metal engine components, precision-bend sheet metal, and route working internal rigging wires.
To guide you through every step of this rewarding project, the kit includes six sheets of blueprint-quality, full-scale plans and a comprehensive 54-page illustrated assembly manual designed by renowned engineer Dr. David Ullman.

✈️ Brief History of the Fokker Dr.I
The Fokker Dr.I Triplane was the legendary favorite aircraft of Manfred von Richthofen—the infamous "Red Baron"—who claimed his final 20 victories in it. Designed by Anthony Fokker, this iconic aircraft was notoriously difficult to master but deadly agile in the hands of an expert pilot. This structural model honors that incredible piece of engineering by showing you exactly how it was built to dominate the WWI skies.

Really good pillow!
Size: King (Pack of 1)
This is the first pillow that I have owned in the last 10 years in which I have not experienced any neck pain. It's the right density, comfort level, and is a high-quality item. I am a side and stomach sleeper. Try this pillow and I think you'll be happy.

No stiff neck-- just as promised!
Size: Queen
Like most people I have tried all kinds of pillows to receive my stiff neck--to no avail. I decided to spend the extra money on this (since it was returnable) expecting it not to deliver, but in hopes that it would. I am happy to say the pillow provides great support, yet is fluffy and malleable. It looks a little flat out of the box, but give it an hour or so and it expands to full "fluff". The pillow is very comfortable, provides amazing support despite its soft, fluffy feel. Not being sculpted or rigid foam, it is easy to adjust and get the right support. Somehow it works! I have not had a stiff neck since I bought this. I did add about half the bag of extra material, but removed some because it was a little too much for me. The stuffing is clean, uniform and looks pristine. It comes with a beautiful pillow case that is thick and smooths out any "lumps" (which there aren't anyway because the filling is so soft and uniform.) I plan to order another one for our other home. Highly recommend.

Great quality, not cheap but totally worth this price!
Size: King
I bought this pillow for my husband because the other I’ve purchased have gone flat. So far he is loving this pillow. It has great loft and comes with extra to adjust if necessary. I’m going to purchase one for myself as well! It is extremely comfortable!
