Today we open the lid on a classic plastic aircraft!  
On today's "What's In The Box?", we will be looking at the 1/72 scale Fokker D.VII Plastic Model Kit By Revell. This is a  model kit unboxing video that I hope you will enjoy. 

History of the Fokker E.V/D.VII plastic model kit by Revell : 

The Fokker D.VII was a German World War I fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. Germany produced around 3,300 D.VII aircraft in the second half of 1918. In service with the Luftstreitkräfte, the D.VII quickly proved itself to be a formidable aircraft. The Armistice ending the war specifically required, as the fourth clause of the "Clauses Relating to the Western Front", that Germany was required to surrender all D.VIIs to the Allies.  Surviving aircraft saw much service with many countries in the years after World War I. - From Wiki

The model kit : 

This is a very excellent model kit of the Fokker D.VII, a late war entry historic fighter aircraft. 
Revell has included parts trees made of white polystyrene plastic which works well with all plastic model cement and acrylic and enamel paints. 28 parts make up the entire airplane assembly.

Revell's Fokker D.VII plastic model kit uses a nine piece cockpit which includes a floor, seat, foot and hand controls, interior struts and instrument panel and sandwiches nicely between the body sides.

The propeller rod axle rotates inside the radiator via a backing plug.  Be careful with the glue so as not to glue the axle solidly to the body, stopping the propeller from rotating. 

The single upper wing, as well as the tail fin and rudders attach to the body and are connected with struts. The landing gear wing and wheels then attach to the undercarriage. 

Revell has created some interesting looking water-slide Lozenge camouflage decal "grids" which can easily be applied. However, you then have to paint each Lozenge individually. 

Lozenge camouflage was a military camouflage scheme in the form of patterned cloth or painted designs used by some aircraft of the Central Powers in the last two years of World War I, primarily those of the Imperial German Luftstreitkräfte. It takes its name from the repeated polygon shapes incorporated in the designs, many of which resembled lozenges.

The Fokker D.VII by Revell includes enough decals to decorate your model airplane in two different national air force schemes : 

1.) Fokker D.VII Ja Sta 11, 1918 - Oblt. Rudolph Berthold
2.) Fokker D.VII Ja Sta 27, 1918 - Hermann Goring

The model kit is 9.7 cm long with a wing span of 12.8 cm when built.
