Although often described as a more aggressive and impulsive pilot than his brother, Lothar proved to be a highly effective fighter ace and achieved numerous victories during a relatively short period of frontline combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aircraft carries the streaked green finish commonly associated with Fokker-built Dr.I triplanes, combined with a prominent yellow rear fuselage, tail and wheel covers. Black and white Iron Cross markings are displayed across the wings, fuselage and tail, creating one of the most distinctive German fighter schemes of the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fokker Dr.I was developed in response to the successful Sopwith Triplane and became one of the most recognisable combat aircraft of the conflict. Its three closely spaced wings provided excellent manoeuvrability and climbing performance, although the aircraft was slower than many contemporary fighters and could be challenging for inexperienced pilots to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to 1,750 pieces worldwide, this substantial 1:48 scale release is especially appealing to collectors of German military aviation and First World War fighter aircraft. The model features simulated fabric-covered surfaces, fine wing bracing wires, a detailed open cockpit with pilot figure, twin Spandau machine guns, rotating propeller, separately rendered engine and cowling detail, rolling rubber tyres and the original Corgi Aviation Archive presentation stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation Archive Collector Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA38302\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fokker Dr.I Triplane\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePilot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lothar von Richthofen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luftstreitkräfte Jasta 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCampaign \/ Event:\u003c\/strong\u003e First World War\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheatre \/ Base:\u003c\/strong\u003e Western Front\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\/Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1918\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperator \/ Country:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luftstreitkräfte \/ German Empire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,750 pieces worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavyweight diecast metal with quality sub-components\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited edition release, authentic Jasta 11 markings, streaked green camouflage, contrasting yellow fuselage and tail surfaces, simulated fabric covering, fine wing bracing wires, detailed cockpit with pilot figure, twin Spandau machine guns, rotating propeller, rolling rubber tyres and original presentation display stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModel Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.75\" or 12.1 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (Wingspan):\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\" or 15.2 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Condition - New (10\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUndisplayed.
