Cutting Edge Decals 1/32
Fokker Dr.I Part 2

Following on the heels of the Fokker Triplane Part 1 set that covers nine of Baron Manfred von Richthofen's aircraft (reviewed here), this set highlights three other aircraft flown by German aces.

The anchor-adorned Fokker flow by Rudolf Klimke is an interesting subject, but the pilot himself became notable as the first person to bomb London at night.

This decal set was thoroughly researched to identify and render each of these Fokker Dr.Is right down to the specific font style used in the maintenance stencils (which varied between aircraft).

This decal set provides markings for three aircraft:

• Fokker Dr.I, 454/17, WrNr 2079, Avesnes-le-Sec, Mar 1918, 40 victories as flown by Oberleutnant Freiherr von Richthofen, Staffelfuhrer, Jasta 11
• Fokker Dr.I, 577/17, WrNr 2247, Halluin-Ost, May 1918, 16 victories as flown by Leutnant Rudolf Klimke, Jasta 27
• Fokker Dr.I, 404/17, WrNr 1988, Toulis, Mar 1918, 27 victories as flown by Hauptmann Adolf Ritter von Tutschek, Commander JG.2

This set also includes the relevant national markings for each of the aircraft and stencils.

The instructions include nice full-color side and top profiles to illustrate decal placement and relevant color schemes as well as scrap underside markings for under-wing marking placements. Highly recommended!

My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for this review sample!
