1/144 Sopwith F.I Camel vs Fokker Dr.I (Duels in the Sky) - VALOM



1/144 Sopwith F.I Camel vs Fokker Dr.I (Duels in the Sky) - VALOM
 (2 Types, 2 Pieces Each) (Plastic model)

-Two models that represent the upper world of World War I Sopwith Camel F.1 is the most powerful unit of the British Army's most downright airframe and the strong rotational torque of the engine makes it difficult to manoeuvre but reverses the agile movement and can be said to be unbeatable It was done.

-Fokker Dr. I is a triplane that is also famous as Richthofen's last aircraft.
-Although the speed was low, the aircraft was excellent in climbing and mobility, but it was difficult to manoeuvre and lacked stability, so some veterans preferred to board.

** So, you get four kits with this set ( 2 x 2 )

Hobby Master of Hong Kong are launching a new range of 1/144 Aircraft.
Initially the release appears to be a intersting Lufthansa passenger liner from 1936.
It is stated as "New Tooling" so it shouldnt be a reissue we have seen from someone else, the other interesting fact is that HM seen keen to reissue their models under a wide range of paint schemes.

The "1936 Olympics" version would have been another interesting schema, but I suppose the cost of the official olympics license would have been too exspensive?

However another 1/144 vendor has to be welcomed and hopefully this is the first of many.

I dont know a lot about Hobby Master items, information available on forums would indicate a high metal content, rubber wheels and padded/painted decals. Hopefully thie model will have a proper ribbed structure unlike the IXO.

The paint scheme does not look quite right, but typically when needed i cant find a decent 1936 image of this aircraft on google/bing!

Available: Some sites say December 2010/the HM Site says October 2010?
Cost: $50 USD?

Update: Pre-Production Photos Here
