This was the 1969 issue Revell Triplane kit #-H252:150. It came with the decals for Werner Voss, however they were not usable. The pilot is from another Dr1 kit reshaped to resemble Voss. This plane, Fok F1/103, was the plane he lost his life while flying.
Revell 1/28 WW1 Aces kit. MVR with mechanic and photographer posing with prototype as delivered. After reading all of the debates, I sided with the clear doped linen people as oppossed to the blue doped linen for Fok FI 101, 102 and 103. The photos do suggest that they were not as heavily streaked, therefore lighter in color. The tools, tool box, some cock pit and camera were scratch built. The people were extensively modified and repositioned.
