  I ´ve got the 1/72 Revell Fokker Dr.I kit and I can say it´s a very good one, although it has some issues, specially compared to the Eduard kit.
  I don´t like the red color plastic Revell choose, it is hard to cover with light colored paint if you chose another paint scheme instead of the Richthofen brothers´ the kit features. The rib representation is somewhat heavy, specially on the stabilizer, although the fabric representation sags down on the lower surface of the wings looking correct to me (on the Eduard triplane it sags up). The wing tips look different as shown in the plans.
  Finally, the wheels look suspect to me, more like British ones (only one face having cone form), and the decal crosses are a bit off register in my kit.
