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.

The Thick Red and Black Spaghetti of Power
Size: 20FT Black & 20FT Red
If electricity had highways, this would be an interstate.
The cable feels substantial, the copper conductors are flexible enough to work with, and the included lugs and heat shrink tubing make installation easier. Great for batteries, inverters, solar systems, RV electrical upgrades, marine projects, and welding setups.
Voltage drop stays low thanks to the heavy gauge construction, and the insulation feels durable enough for demanding environments.
Overall, a solid wiring kit that inspires confidence when moving serious current.

Great cable kit.
Size: 20FT Black & 20FT Red, Size: 20FT Black & 20FT Red
Great heavy duty cable. Good thick feeling insulation that looks the real deal. Wire is soft enough to route easily without too much resistance. Appreciate it coming with the lugs and heat shrink instead of you having to source extras. Seems to be truly copper as listed. Great deal for the length if so. Worked for what I needed on my UTV.

Cheap price for the cable and terminal ends with heat shrink.
Size: 20FT Black & 20FT Red
Good 6 gauge wire, jacket seems sturdy and like it won't crack easily over time like some wire.
Comes with all the connectors shown too so you don't need to find end ring connections to terminate the ends.
Just need a punch or crimp tool for the terminals but if you already have that then just cut your wire length and add the ends for battery cable.
