HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Fokker D.VII was one of the most formidable fighter aircraft used by the German Air Service during World War I. Introduced in early 1918, it quickly earned a reputation for its superb handling, robust construction, and overall superiority in dogfights. Designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker company, the D.VII was powered by a 160-hp Mercedes D.III engine, which gave it excellent climb rates and high-altitude performance. Unlike many aircraft of the era, it was also relatively easy to fly, making it popular among both novice and experienced pilots.
Franz Büchner, a German ace and one of the top Fokker D.VII pilots, flew this aircraft with great success. As a member of Jagdstaffel 13 (Jasta 13), Büchner distinguished himself in aerial combat, achieving 40 confirmed victories by the end of the war. His Fokker D.VII, often decorated with striking personal markings, became one of the iconic images of Germany’s late-war fighter force. Büchner's ability to outmaneuver and outgun Allied aircraft cemented his place among the top German aces, and his exploits in the D.VII contributed significantly to the aircraft's fearsome reputation.
The Fokker D.VII saw extensive combat during the final year of World War I. It was so highly regarded by the Allies that, after the Armistice, specific terms of the Treaty of Versailles demanded that all Fokker D.VIIs be surrendered to the victors. The D.VII was seen as a game-changer, able to dominate the skies even as Germany's fortunes on the ground deteriorated. It participated in major air battles during the German Spring Offensive and the subsequent Allied counter offensives. The D.VII’s role in the air war helped to maintain German air superiority until the very end of the conflict.
This 1:72 scale model captures the essence of one of World War I's most iconic aircraft. Detailed with historical accuracy, it’s a perfect collector's item for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike, commemorating the bravery and skill of the aces who flew these legendary machines.
