Cutting Edge 1/32 Fokker Triplane Updates

By Chris Banyai-Riepl

 

The Roden 1/32 Fokker Dr. I is a very nice kit on its own, and can be built up into a very nice replica out of the box. One small issue with the kit, though, is its cowling. The Roden kit piece just does not quite capture the right look of the original. Cutting Edge has decided to come out with a corrected cowling as a single-piece replacement, which nicely fixes this issue. While they were at it, they also decided to produce early style ailerons and a Fokker F.1 conversion. With these sets, any modeler can produce an accurate Fokker Triplane.

Like other Cutting Edge resin accessories, these sets are cast in a gray resin with nice, crisp detailing. The pour gates are the only point of cleanup needed on these pieces, and as they are direct kit replacements, there is no extra work required. For those who have the extensive Cutting Edge 1/32 Dr.I decal sheets, these details will be quite welcome.

Set CEC32169 contains the Fokker Dr.I corrected cowling. Set CEC32172 contains the Fokker F.1 conversion, and set CEC32174 contains the Fokker Dr.I early ailerons.
