| Re: Model Powers Fokker D VII line up
Hi from Oz. The red & blue DVII is a re-production of Rudolph Berthold's machine. An amazing story - this guy was wounded about 7 times and still survived the war...only to meet an untimely end to riotors in 1920. Apparently, he was strangled with the ribbon to his Blue Max! If you are a DVII fan - look up the Osprey books "Fokker DVII Aces of World War 1 - Parts 1 & 2" (Aircraft of the Aces Series). They are very informative, having been factually researched and have some rare photographs.
I actually asked the same question regarding the colour scheme of MP's DVII (MP5332). Hobbylinc have this colour scheme in its catalogue. Hobbylinc advised me that its model (MP5332) is in fact the red and blue model.
The release date for the MP5332-1 (being the all camouflaged machine) has been put back to December (from July) and looks great. Although I am not sure whether it is an exact replica of an actual machine. Does anyone know?
