Eduard 8156 FOKKER E.III 1/48 – plastic model of a World War I fighter aircraft

Eduard 8156 FOKKER E.III in 1/48 scale is a plastic model kit designed for aviation modeling enthusiasts and collectors of historical aircraft replicas from the First World War. The model faithfully reproduces the legendary Fokker Eindecker E.III, which went down in history as the first production aircraft equipped with a synchronized machine gun, enabling it to fire through the propeller arc.

The Fokker E.III entered service in 1915 and quickly became the main fighter aircraft of the German Air Force in the early stages of the Great War. It was used primarily by the Luftstreitkräfte (Imperial German Army Air Service). The Fokker E.III gained superiority during the so-called “Fokker Scourge” in 1915-1916 on the Western Front, significantly impacting the balance of air power. It featured a simple monoplane design, a metal fuselage frame, and a distinctive weapon arrangement.

The Eduard 8156 model has been meticulously refined with historical details. The high-quality plastic sprues provide excellent surface detail, a realistic reproduction of the fuselage and wing structure, and a detailed pilot's cockpit. The kit also includes decals allowing you to create several historical paint schemes used by various flying aces.
