Fokker Triplane model aircraft, wingspan 15 3/4 in. x length 12 1/2 in. . Hand carved from solid mahogany and completely hand painted. Your model comes complete with a solid mahogany and chrome stand as shown. The Fokker triplane is among the best known of the WW I German fighters. It was while flying the triplane that the top-scoring fighter pilot of the War, Manfred von Richthofen ("The Red Barron") met his death. Our master craftsmen,working from three-dimensional drawings, chip away the excess wood from the kiln-dried block until an airplane amazingly appears. They work their tools with remarkable precision and unusual attention to detail. Several stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. Talented artists using ultra-fine brushes, paint the nose art, stripes and markings. We select the aircraft and paint schemes for their historical significance and authenticity. A final coat of clear lacquer provides lasting protection to the exquisite finish. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. Every order gets our personal attention! (311) FGF3
