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.

My dog loves it!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
This crunch ball was a Christmas gift for my 65lbs fur baby. It’s now mid April and he still loves it. He loves running after it and chomping down on it. It is still in good shape despite all the chomping it’s gotta . I highly recommend. He goes back to this toy agin and again! Great buy.

Our first babies favorite and longest lasting ball yet and he is fixing to be 7.
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2), Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2)
Toughest ball we have found yet. Our doberman loves Chuckit! Balls especially the crunch one. He spreads all the balls and toys we have bought but these lasted the longest. The crunch and the glow in the dark are usually his pick but he has several different choices.

Perfect for my dog!
Style: Flying Glow Squirrel
My dog loves it! It hovers in flight, making it easy to catch, and it’s easy for her to pick up since it’s not flat like a regular disc. It even went thru the washing machine without damage, but I let it air dry so the dryer wouldn’t tear it up. Will buy again!

So much fun
Style: Flying Glow Squirrel
My shepherd loves this thing. He is a true fiend for a frisbee or ball and this is his new favorite toy. He will carry it around just to do so, and that’s a new thing for him. It’s soft which is good for my poor hands, yet it’s durable and stands up to the tests he throws at it. It flies well and hasn’t warped no matter what it’s hit. No tears through any of the chewing yet either. Good size toy that gives hours and hours of fun for the most playful and silly doggos out there!

Beloved dog toy now in glow in the dark canvas.
Style: Flying Glow Squirrel
This is a great frisbie style product with the advantage of glow in the dark visibility. My German Shepherd has been retrieving the original Chuckits for 5 years. They fly through the air and have the advantage of curved design which allows a dog to slide their mouth under it easily when it is on the ground. Awesome dog toy that my dog never tires of. Heavy duty canvas design for durability and washability when it gets muddy.
