100TH ANNIVERSARY: MODEL KIT - FOKKER D-7 - The Fokker D.VII was one of the most renowned and successful German fighter aircraft of World War I, entering service in 1917 and seeing extensive use throughout 1918. Designed by Reinhold Platz and selected after a rigorous competition, the D.VII quickly gained a reputation for its outstanding stability and maneuverability, making it a formidable adversary in aerial dogfights. Its innovative design allowed pilots to perform tight turns and recover from spins with ease, while the robust, boxy airframe provided remarkable durability and reliability in combat. The Fokker D.VII was also praised for its forgiving handling characteristics, which enabled even less experienced pilots to achieve impressive results. Many of Germany's top aces, including Ernst Udet and Hermann Göring, flew the D.VII to great effect. Its combat performance was so impressive that the Armistice agreement ending World War I specifically required Germany to surrender all remaining D.VIIs to the Allies. The Fokker D.VII's legacy endures as a symbol of German engineering excellence and innovation in early aviation.
