This Took a Lot of Work! Building the Airfix Fokker DR.1 Triplane in 1/72 Scale - Build & Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- The Airfix Fokker DR.1 Triplane in 1/72 scale is possibly one of their oldest kits, with its origins being traced back to the 1950's. Join me on the workbench in this video as I build & review the Airfix Fokker DR.1 Triplane plastic model kit in 1/72 scale.
This kit comes as part of a "Dogfight Doubles" set which also features a Bristol F.2B - which will have to be the focus of another video. The set (A02141V) was released in 2023 as part of the Vintage Classics range.
For more information on the contents of the Airfix 1/72 scale Bristol F.2B & Fokker DR.1 Dogfight Doubles set (A02141V), take a look at the dedicated unboxing video I made here: • Fokker DR.1 & Bristol ...

I used to get the Revel kits back in the mid-60's for 50 cents. I still have a few old bottles of Testors enamel paint with the price of 15 cents printed on the cap. It's a lot of fun building these old things! Cheerios!
wow, are those paints still holding up?
@@ModelMinutes Oh no! They turned to putty a loooooooong time ago! I just kept the bottle as a reminder of how simple life was then.
@@michaelmay5120 how long did the paint hold up?
@@mr_boost6969 Probably only a year or two, I was just a kid then, of course. With enamel paints you have to give them a good shake once a week or add a little thinner and stir them every now and then. I switched to painting my miniatures with acrylics about twenty years ago. You can thin them with water, no chemical thinners needed, and that saves wear on your paintbrushes. Makes clean up a lot easier!
Thanks for posting. This brings back happy memories of sticking and "exchanging" green shield stamp books for various kits including a number of dogfight doubles in the 60s. Stamps were generally collected by my dad when filling up the Morris 1100.- usually 4 and 4 shots and often on double or treble stamp days. Yippee!
ps Pity about the lack of coloured plastic and the lack of the black A frame.
That’s really interesting! Thanks for sharing
Ah yes, I remember having a black a-frame stand with one of my sets in my youth. I remember thinking “what is this” because it just looked weird 😂
This was actually the first model i ever built (if you can call it that) when i was 4 or 5 years old in the early 2000s. Bought it from a garage sale and so it was missing some bits, but i believe it's a large part of what sparked my interest in airplanes. Good bit of nostalgia seeing someone do it properly. Might have to pick one up.
I hope you enjoy
Two uploads in a row, have i been blessed from heaven?
I meant to release this on Saturday but didn’t have the chance, so it’s gone up today 😊
Great job Matt. I built this back in the 60s (decals pushed into place with a grubby finger I remember 😂) I got frustrated with older kits a few months ago due to way too many issues with fit etc, but fortunately I got my "kit bag" mojo back this week, having just completed a Bf109 in 1 72 from Airfix. Amazingly the decals worked a treat 😊. Thanks for sharing 👍
Very cool!
I was watching your build when it dawned on me that I have built this kit. I’m 65 and I think it must have been in the 60s.
That kit was the plastic bag version. It had a problem with the top wing support and the propellor hole was too small… 🤣🇦🇺 some things never change.
I’m in Australia.🇦🇺
There were still some problems with it today too 😂
Made one in the 1960 s and is very small in 1/72 scale. I use E Z Line stretch for rigging. Great succinct video.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve got some infini rigging to try out in some future builds, I think it’s similar to ez line
Congratulations on building a WW I aircraft. I too have a fear of these, mainly due to rigging. I have a 1/72 Airfix Tiger Moth sitting in my stash and I may now be inspired to give it a go.
I just picked up a 1/72 tiger moth as well, but might not do the rigging in that one
Despite the issues you had with this kit, you have made a great looking model of the DR.1. And of course, in the classic Red Baron paint scheme as well. Hope to see you tackle the Eduard or Revell 1/72 scale kits in the future. Anyway, keep up the great work Model Minutes.
I think I could be interested in the Eduard one 😅 thanks for watching
I remember building that in about 1973 - there is a photo of me somewhere brush painting the red. I just finished a Roland C11 (from the original pre-1973 plastic bag) - fun kits.
I didn't even bother to paint my original one - it came in red plastic so didnt see the point
Nice to see that stand back. But I wish Airfix would bring back the stands that came originally with their Dogfight Doubles kits, especially these kits that are brought back under their Vintage Classics series. 🙂
I built this kit way back in the 1960s so i got myself one this year i enjoyed building them and they turned out nicely happy modelling everyone 👍 😀
Nice work!
Finished mine as Werner Voss triplane , over flying a WW1 tank , the Revell 1/28th scale also used to come in the same with surprisingly Light Metallic Blue with Green streaks ? The 1/72 is in a glass dome with tank in muddy earth surroundings !!!
That sounds really cool!
The issue with the varnish could be down to weather conditions - I find that the high heat and/or humidity can make spray varnish cloud up when sprayed. I had this very issue earlier this week using the same make of varnish on a Spitfire, did the same thing as you, re-sprayed it with another make and that cured it! Great minds eh?
I think you might be right, could be the humidity or maybe the pigments drying before they hit the model. It’s strange
Considering the age of the kit and the amount of filler you needed to apply this has really come out rather well! The inclusion of the rigging, considering how much is actually there, really sets this model off. I quite enjoy making WW1 biped but have yet to actually do any rigging. Thank you for sharing this great wee vid!
Thanks for the feedback! It did take a lot of work to get it looking better than my first go many years ago. I can still notice in a few places some areas that need a little extra tidying up, but it is easier to spot on camera and not in person - i'm not sure my eyes can zoom in that much!
I bought my own Airfix Fokker Triplane summer 1970. Was then 13 yrs old.
This video's Fokker had incredible small cylinders in its "Oberursel"-engine.
That’s interesting! I guess the designed them a little under scale?
I made this and the bristol about a year ago. My first vintage classic kits. I thoroughly enjoyed them both and a fascinating contrast with the amazing precision of moddern kits. I found the Bristol horribly difficult to get the wings aligned and the stays the right length, but it's beautiful now. I haven't quite finished either kit as I suppose I should weather them, but they look so lovely with their satin coats, I might leave them as they are. Thanks Matt. Great video.
I'll have to keep an eye out for those wings on the Bristol
It's easy to forget just how small these WWI planes are in 1/72. Well done Matt, you did a great job building that little Fokker, your skills have def improved.
Thanks! It is indeed a tiny plane for the scale
@@muchasgracias6976 . Just wish there were more WW1 Kits in 1/32. 1/72 and 1/48 are no good to me with my eyesight and fat stubby fingers !
My model-building days were in the latter half of the1960s. I lived in the middle of the USA, and Airfix kits were not common. I built the Revell 1/72 Fokker Dr.I. It did not present any particular problems that I recall. In general, I found it easier to build good-looking 1/72 airplanes out of Revell kits that from the rare Airfix examples I tried. The P-51 Mustang was an exception to that, as the Revell kit was an abomination. Revell's 1/72 single-engine fighters (of both wars) cost $.49 or $.50 each. I think that Airfix kits were about the same--a bit more expensive if anything. It's amazing to see how much the kits cost now.
Revell's Mustang is certainly an odd kit
It loks so good !
Your Kit model skills are beyond the human understanding !

Lol, i think i do okay sometimes

Well i saw Many of your videos and i like how skillful You are !
I mean i still have to work on my Super Puma helicopter and i know how hard is to do these Little guys 🗿👍
@@octaviannica3063 good luck!
@@ModelMinutes thank You!
I will post the end result in the server !
@@octaviannica3063 Look forwards to seeing it!
I built the Airfix R.E.8 last year. It was a 1967 release in the plastic bag with the instructions stapled to it. I think it was actually a better moulding than your Fokker (it was a 1957 tooling so probably done around the same time as the Fokker). The parts fit together quite nicely, and I think the only parts I had problems with were the wing struts that attached to the fuselage that I ended up replacing with stretched sprue as they were too short. The wings had a few ejector pin marks that were not too difficult to fill in. The decals were pretty crappy though and I ended up painting the roundels on the fuselage and also the registration numbers as they fell apart.
I suppose I would have been surprised if decals from the 60's were still any good
I understand about the Revell cans not cheap ,along with the airbrush I use cans as well ,I have found halfords paint to spray very well and v good results plus the cans are a lot bigger
Thanks for the tip!
Great build, I'd like to see you do Bristol f2b,as i attempted this kit a few years ago and made a total mess of it
I did plan on doing both the Bristol and Fokker from the set, but this one kinda killed me off a little lol. I will get round to the Bristol in the future - I have even bought specific paint for it! But will have to see when i get time
I must have built this one half dozen times in younger days.
Nice!
did this kit when i was about 6 around 1965 I had forgoten how crude it was but gave me a lot of plesure as a small boy ,where did the time go im 65 now ouch. Nice vid glad to see the channel growing
I did this one in my youth and absolutely butchered it lol - I was surprised I could still find it for this video
I remember building this from the same set back in the early 70's. Back then dog fight double kits had a black plastic stand in the shape of an A . The pilot has been updated as the original looked like a gimp with a double row of buttons down his chest and perfectly round goggles. 😊
I remember the A-Frame stands now that people mention them, first time I had one I did not have a clue what it was for lol
To bad i missed the premier 😢
But great model tho I personally like of
Course not to much rigging but a litte once In a while is fun
Also I'm so happy the on I voted for won🎉
Thanks! It was an interesting project to complete but took a bit of work to get presentable
@@ModelMinutes yeah I can understand that I Always want my models to look good but it's hard because I need to balance building models messing with 3d printer and grinding war thunder the snail isn't really kind to me right now and I have to do all of that after School which is impossible so I only build models and mostly print on the weekends playing war thunder is fun tho
(Sometimes)
Great result on a rather challenging model
Thanks very much! It was a bit of a challenge
@@ModelMinutes I think all vintage kits will try to kick you, although you been managing to get some decent results
@@plasticalchemist thanks!
I built my 1st Airfix Dr 1 in the late 1960s. it came in a clear bubble pack with cold scheme and instructions on the back. All for 29 cents US. Alas none of my youthful builds survived the sands of time. Well done on a basic representation of the Baron's red terror.
thanks very much!
Nice build! You're right, Revell did release a 1/72 Fokker Dr.1 ten years after the Airfix kit. It wasn't really an improvement, if I remember rightly the dimensions of the fuselage were off. But they issued a new tool Triplane in 2003 which is very nice.
I use white glue rather than superglue for attaching stretched sprue rigging, it makes less of a mess if (when....) I make mistakes. Like you, I find that job a chore.
that's interesting! Don't you find the white glue takes a little longer to dry? I would be concerned the rigging would fall off in that time
@@ModelMinutes It does but it generally holds each piece of rigging securely enough that you can keep on working although I admit the occasional one comes away and has to be stuck down again. The advantages are that it dries clear and that if you find you've misjudged the length needed it's easy to remove the piece of stretched sprue and try again. The trick is to start in the middle, with the centre section and undercarriage, and work outwards.
I once tried very thin stainless steel wire that somebody was marketing as a medium for doing rigging with. I did use superglue with that. It was a good idea in theory but it didn't work for me. It was difficult to cut a length without getting a kink at the end and if I managed that it would almost always kink when I picked it up with tweezers. I find stretched sprue much more user-friendly (and it's free!).
Good job
Thanks 🙏
You did a really nice job, especially scratch building the missing part!
Thanks! I think up close you can tell it doesn’t look identical, but it’s close enough
I've got this in my stash to do as I always tell myself I'll do more WW1 and yet I've yet to do it! You did a fab job and it's really tempting me! ❤❤
Thanks! You should have a go at it, might be fun 🤩
That's one of my favourite planes lol
Awesome!
Great build Its really nice to see a ww1 Plane on your channel
Thanks! I don't do them too often as the rigging is intimidating
@@ModelMinutes i hate rigging thats why i avoid these kind of models
@@Sturgeon_General92 I avoid them too 😂
Nice one Matt. Quite a bit better than your first attempt!
Thanks 👍
@@ModelMinutes When I built my first DR1 it was from the first issue of the DFD (1960 something) the Pilot was one of the spindly type of those years. Some time between then and now the pilot figure in the mould has been improved. I noticed the same thing with the Cammel.
As far as rigging is concerned, many people (myself included back in the old days) built bi-planes without rigging and they look ok. Rigging wires to scale must be about 0.08mm so pretty thin.
Never really considered WW1 planes because of the rigging
Oh the rigging puts me off so much! This only has a couple of bits . . .
@@ModelMinutes yeah that’s good. I suppose that I also don’t like the fact that you have to scratch build them, someone who like biplanes might not have the resources to stretch sprue. Maybe they should include some metal wires or something like that.
@@Aussie6490_gaming yes, it would be nice but it is a further cost that probably wouldn’t be worth it for the company
Then don't rig them😃 I don't in 1/72 because me think the wires look way overseized.
Cheers 👍🏼🍻
@@NielsenDK-1 I don’t bother most of the time
I'm sure you have had comments on this already - the propeller was bolted onto the crank-case/engine on this aircraft (same with the Sopwith Pup, Camel and many other WWI rotary engined aircraft). This has the interesting visual effect that when you spin the prop, the engine spun with it! This was a lazy way of cooling the cylenders, being constantly spun they were always in moving airflow. Otherwise a pretty good build for such an old kit, I built one around 45 years ago, the plastic was red so that helped as, at that stage, I didn't always paint my models, aaagh!
That is fascinating! I love that rotating the engine was the solution 😂
Lovely job! I had this dogfight double in about 1975 and the Dr1 was the first model I made without assistance. A bit wonky, but not bad for an 8/9 year old. My dad made the Brisfit, obviously…
Very nice! My first go at this kit was very wonky with things glued on the wrong place 😂
Nice build. I built a number of biplanes as well as the Revell 1/72 Dr.1 back in the 70s. I never considered adding rigging back then. I didn’t even paint the Dr.1. I built it, applied the decals, and called it a day. (Truthfully, I did go back and paint the wheels and the prop.) Heh-heh, I still have the upper wing packed away in a box. Wish I kept the whole plane as you did.
Sounds like you built it in very much the same way as my first go many years ago
I had a tin of Humbrol satin finish that did that chalky thing, binned it
😉👍
Yes, I had an acrylic like that, was weird. I found that mixing a bit of gloss in helps, or hot water (something to do with pigments)
Great looking build,built one back in mid 60s in red plastic which was awful to paint on,still have werner voss version finished......along with about 30 other ww1 biplanes to build as I planned to do a garden game in scale.
That sounds fun!
I haven't made one of these for years. At least it isn't moulded in that horrible red styrene anymore. 👍👍👍
The pilot figure is an updated version - more suited to WW2 aircraft. The original pilot has very spindly legs, and a tunic with visible buttons. He has his goggles on, too. It might be fun to replace the figure with one from the WW1 pilot figures set made by Dark Dream Studio. One pilot figure is giving a rude gesture, and looks good in the rear cockpit of the Hanover.
Very true! The red plastic was part of the reason I didn't bother even painting my first go at it - and in comparison it looks horrible . . . . Paint was definitely a good choice on the new one (not that I could leave it in dark grey for the Red Baron)
Very great job,on a small scale! So realistic,that if the'red'baron was on a hill,he would feel the his aircraft was ready for take off!
Thanks very much!
Revell 'Firey Red' is also available in Aqua Color pots for less than that spray can and can be smoothly brush applied and thinned with just water. Two coats probably enough.
Thanks for the tip!
I was also told be my Grandad who was a painter and decorator that white wasn't the colour to prime for red as it would grin through the top coat and that you always got a better more solid finish using a grey primer.
Nice to see your build of this classic, vintage kit. I was one of the folks who voted for the DRI, so happy to see it came out on top; and yes I recall you aren't that big a fan of biplanes (in this case triplanes). The sanding and filling went a long way to compensate for the rather rough molding and casting of this almost ancient kit. I have the Revell (circa late 1960s) as well as an Eduard (circa 2000 DrI in 1/72 and the latter especially is a lovely little kit (as it should be I suppose). Cheers.
I’ve seen images of the Eduard one, looks to be a really nice kit
Funnily enough I had problems with the Eduard kit. The v struts were a length that didn't match the gap between the fuselage and the top wing.
@@heneagedundas oh that’s a shame. I’ve not experienced that kit but it looked good, hopefully you could fix the problem
@ModelMinutes I think the problem was a lack of definition at the end of the strut which resulted in me cutting too far from the sprue. I think you could avoid that problem knowing about it in advance.
MODEL MINUTES !!!! 🎉
🙌🙌🙌
I have had trouble with humbrol clear over Tamiya acrylic, will have to do a few more tests before I trust it again
yeah, i have had some inconsistency whilst using it
For Spray Colors: Use Montana Gold Spray Paint. Large bottles, cheap and very thin. I use their silver chrome for any metallic models and parts. Just be aware the spray paint do not like the glue. At all.
I'd seen them in Hobbycraft I think, thanks for letting me know! I guess the paint reacts with the glue in some way?
@@ModelMinutes Yeah. The glue dissolves the color or the other way around. But as long as its the last thing you do, its a decent quick fix for chrome aircraft. Might work for yellow too, I have it at home but have not tried it yet.
thanks for letting me know!
Airfix really needs to release a DR-1 in 1/24 scale.
That would be an interesting kit!
The pilot in the Fokker is much better than the ones in the old Airfix R.E.8, which looked more like Doctor Who Cybermen.
lol that is hilarious
I was pleasantly surprised by how well this went together when I did it. It has some inaccuracies but it's probably a good kit to learn how to do clean up on complex surface shapes for newer modellers looking for a bit of a challenge.
Yes, i think as a kit to practice these skills it is a good choice
A few yrs ago the Dr1 came in red and alot better quality overall, I could not believe the lack of quality on this edition.
I think the tooling may be past its prime
@ModelMinutes That's one hell of a understatement good luck with the next project.
Looking good son 👌
Thanks very much! I'm a bit apprehensive about the Bristol F2B because it has more complicated painting and all that rigging to do - not to mention to properly do the rigging I think there are bits that need to be scratch built in places ...
I feel your pain with the Humbrol varnish....despite much shaking and careful airbrushing, it left some very annoying white marks on a newly completed 1/48 Spitfire. Alternative brand purchased and fingers crossed!
Nice outcome for the Fokker, despite 3 wings and rigging as potential hazards, I have a 1/48 Tiger Moth waiting for me to summon up the courage.
Best wishes, Nick
Thanks! Yes, I also have a tiger moth that I’m dreading 😬
your right i'm not sure why I get biplanes but I do and yes, the rigging is a pain 😂
Lol I have a few in the stash, not sure why ...
@@ModelMinutes me to Lol
If you guys keep buying and building this tat we'll never get a new tool. But seriously. I built the Eduard Profipack kit of the F1 a few years ago. It practically built itself. Fabulous Dr.1. Nice photoetch bits too. Roden has a Dr.1 in 1/72 but I don't know anything about it.
They still make them even if we don’t buy them, they just sit on the shelves of the model shop
Nearly finished the Meng 1/24/th I have also built a 1/72 DR1 and I have to say the 1/24th is probably an easier build. It’s also a perfect choice of you hate rigging.
Ah yes, I can imagine a larger scale one is perfect for rigging
*3 von 10.möglichen Punkten!*
Better than 2 🤩
iirc Roden has one. Roden has a LOT of ww1 planes in 1/72 scale. Theres an awful lot of neat paint schemes for the DR.1
Yes, they did have a lot of cool paint schemes for their planes
It is a shame that they did not include the original Dogfight Doubles stand instead of the 2 separate ones.
Yes, the black plastic A-frame. I wonder if they lost the mould for that one
It then out pretty good lots of flash filling the rigging can have issue for you matt finish give miceo sol flat a go that give a frost look I've tried that it makes it white frost micro sol give a nice finish all in all it turn pretty good
thanks for the info!
5th comment!! Can’t wait to see how the video turns out!
nice! Thanks for dropping in
Nice little build, intrigued by the Modellers journal, any pics of whats inside?
It's laid out specifically to log your builds, I think i highlighted it in a video a while ago but I cant remember which one - its like a diary. There might be a pic on my IG but would mean going back a lot of posts
Nice work of a bad job (kit). The old Revell kit is fun.
Thanks! I'm not sure I would be interested in the Revell kit, but it could be something to compare in the future, if I ever run out of projects that is lol
@@ModelMinutes Oh no this stuff is for WWI freaks. Don't listen to me I collect vintage vacuform kits. Cool videos I like your style.
Thanks!
I built this with a group of primary school children as part of the airfix 'challenge' bundle with 10 kits brushes and paints all together. The choice for these group build sets is just two archaic ww1 aircraft moulds of the ww1 tank. Why they can't go back to doing group build sets of their lovely mk1 spit or similar I don't know! Instead they flog outdated old moulds on and put off keen groups of new builders like schools and scout groups.
The wing struts were very fiddly for children new to the hobby and the kits disappointing compared to more modern kits. Despite this we built them all up together over 6 meetings of an after school club and made little diorama bases for them too.
I imagine it was a decision made with an eye on the bank balance. Perhaps they had excess stock left over from a previous run and needed a "clever" way to move it on without having to bin them. I did see the "Airfix Challenge" kits on their website a little while ago, perhaps they didn't get enough schools or youth groups to buy them even then.
I agree, put something decent in their "challenge" sets and perhaps you might convert a life-long modeller to the hobby
2023??? The original molds are older then you. Nice job also.
The original molds are much older than me 😂
What is your preferred filler ?
Here I used humbrol filler, its ok but I think i have a very old tube and it isnt great to work with. I've been trying out the Ammo surface recently and that seems pretty good
Plus the price of air fix models are going up in price at the end of August
Yes, they did announce that prices were going up
I'll watch this one later
@@BradleyHatchen-vv3fd I hope you enjoy
@@ModelMinutes yes thanks I'm working two kits and there looking good one is the Douglas world cruiser a by winger and the other is autogiro 1/48 kits there turning good I look in the old bin my dealer had great price since other model prices are going up there was a bit of flash but there turning good
@@ModelMinutes I'll have to try that one when I see it kind of going back to the old ones
I would say the Eduard and Revell 1/72 scale Fokker Dr.1 is much better than the Airfix 1/72 Fokker Dr.1.
I would definitely imagine that to be the case - think I talk about that at the end?
I built the revell one and I actually think that ones better compared to this one… hope im not the only one who thinks this
I can imagine that the Revell one is better, being a slightly younger tooling
Its a Bird, its a Junkers D.I, no, its a Prussian man with a funny plane.
error, mine turns into lord starscream 😅
Ah, you may have put some of the pieces in the wrong place, I hear It is a common issue
Why don't you use an airbrush?
Do you mean in general, or just this build? I do have an airbrush but don’t always see the point in using it. I wanted to try out the Revell spray can in this video as I haven’t had much experience of them
@@ModelMinutes in general
but it's not a biplane
It’s not a biplane, you are very correct. It has an extra wing so is that makes it even worse lol
