Tissue and Dope Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I wonder how this will compare with the 2015 Merit Fokker Dr.1 ? mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonH Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Well this clearly isn't the WNW tooling. scvrobeson, Rick Griewski, Oldbaldguy and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyoy5 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 It’s on the Meng Facebook page, looks really good and way more detailed than the Merit kit which I have. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Given that the only experience Meng seems to have with the Fokker DR.1 is inheriting the WNW mold, I’d be very much surprised if this isn’t just a direct scale up of the 1/32 kit. karimb, mpk, Jeff T and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royboy Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The 1/24 scale market is relatively barely touched in aviation models, I think Meng is following an interesting path with this release. I only mention it because they've shown an interest in 1/12 car kits as well. Moving into the next level of scales could be quite a smart move for them. I'll buy one anyway! Love the Big Stuff!!

Bingo. Honestly after looking at the Meng 32nd kit, that 1/24th CAD pic/drawing what-have-you, has the double stacking pads just like the 32nd kit, same design and look to the fuse, and same look to the PE MGs. Id agree that Meng has 0 experience with the DR.1/F.1, with the excepetion of the WnW molds, so Id say there is a very high percentage change this is an upscale of their 32nd kit. 2 hours ago, Tissue and Dope said: Hopefully they will have improved the Q.C. issues that plagued their 1/32 version. Honestly the kit is great from what Ive seen, and to me if the warp in the wings (fixed with water and a board) and a broken middle cockpit combing part is all there is physical issue wise, I'm good with it. mpk, scvrobeson, Bob MDC and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
