The iconic plane made famous by World War One ace Manfred von Richthofen aka The
Red Baron.
Total Pieces: 324 genuine LEGO elements + Mauser pistol from Brickarms
http://www.brickarms.com/
Minifigs: 1
Price: $59.95 + Shipping
($54.95 to Brickmania subscribers)
I absolutely fell in love with this model and felt compelled to make it into a
kit after six year’s hiatus from new Brickmania releases. The model is perfectly
proportioned for minifigs (scale is 1 stud = 1 foot), is surprisingly sturdy,
and is just plain fun to “swoosh” around the house.
The Fokker Dr.1 Dreidecker (“tri plane”) is perhaps the most famous airplane of
World War One. My model comes in the bold red livery of the war’s top ace
Manfred von Richthofen, who scored his final 20 of 80 victories in this fighter.
In his own words Richtohofen described the Dr.1: “It climbed like a monkey and
maneuvered like the devil.” A total of 320 Dr.1’s were built during the war and
it served with distinction until being replaced by the more advanced Fokker D
VII (arguably THE best fighter plane of the war).
Model Details: The kit is made up of 324 new LEGO elements (including a “Baron”
minifig) and a pistol from Brickarms. Full-color printed building instructions
and a singed certificate of authenticity are also included in the sealed box,
which is also individually numbered and signed. As with all Brickmania kits,
this design will be available for a limited time only and may be discontinued
without notice.
Limited availability: The instructions for this model were specifically designed
for inclusion in my forthcoming military modeling book and will not be available
through my instructions subscription club. Instructions for the Spad S.XIII (the
other plane in the picture above) will be available to club members shortly.
