[WWI] Eduard Fokker Triplanes

[ingersolll]

Marcio,
You ought to take a look at the newer DR.I release from Revell.  It has a 
nice engine up front and the interior has more detail than the Eduard.
Nigel Rayner did a comparison in Scale Aviation Modeller, Volume 10 Issue 9 
few years back.
The Revell 4116 kit is worth a look.  It's way better than the earlier 
Revell kit.
