Forget plastic. Build history from the bones up.
The Model Airways Fokker Dr.I Triplane is not your standard model airplane kit. It is an uncompromising, museum-quality masterclass in historical structural replication. Designed by master modelers for true craftsmen, this 1:16 scale kit strips away the fabric skin to leave the intricate, laser-cut wooden ribs and cast-metal fuselage completely exposed.
If you are looking for a weekend plastic glue project, this isn’t it. But if you crave a deeply engaging, highly technical bench-work experience that challenges your skills and results in a jaw-dropping conversation piece, your next build has arrived.
🛠️ The Ultimate Builder’s Kit:
A True "Structural" Build: Because this is an open-airframe (skeleton) model, every ounce of your craftsmanship stays permanently on display. You aren't hiding your hard work under layers of canvas or plastic—the authentic internal stress lines, wing ribs, and mechanical bracing are the star of the show.
Authentic, Premium Materials: Say goodbye to cheap plastic sprues. This kit relies on aircraft-grade laser-cut basswood and birch plywood, robust Britannia (white) metal castings, brass, copper, aluminum, and steel. You will bend, shape, and machine materials exactly like the pioneering engineers of early aviation.
A Mini Mechanical Marvel: The heart of this kit is the legendary 9-cylinder Oberursel UR II rotary engine. Comprising over 33 individually cast Britannia metal parts, you will assemble the carburetor, oil pump, spark plugs, and microscopic valve springs for an incredibly realistic internal layout.
Intricate Cockpit Detailing: The cockpit is reproduced in authentic, naked-eye clarity, complete with individual gauges, a tachometer, a compass, and precision-cast twin Spandau machine guns.
🧠 The Challenge is the Feature (Advanced Difficulty)
Rated at an Advanced Level, this kit is intentionally designed to test and grow your problem-solving abilities. It offers weeks of premium, immersive entertainment value. You’ll get to clean and file heavy metal engine components, precision-bend sheet metal, and route working internal rigging wires.
To guide you through every step of this rewarding project, the kit includes six sheets of blueprint-quality, full-scale plans and a comprehensive 54-page illustrated assembly manual designed by renowned engineer Dr. David Ullman.

✈️ Brief History of the Fokker Dr.I
The Fokker Dr.I Triplane was the legendary favorite aircraft of Manfred von Richthofen—the infamous "Red Baron"—who claimed his final 20 victories in it. Designed by Anthony Fokker, this iconic aircraft was notoriously difficult to master but deadly agile in the hands of an expert pilot. This structural model honors that incredible piece of engineering by showing you exactly how it was built to dominate the WWI skies.

Immediately yes
Fill Material: Down Alternative, Size: King Size
I’m 50 and peri has been kicking my butt lately, so temperature management of my head (as that is the only thing effected by my hot flashes) has been an ever pressing project that I’ve been managing for the last 3-4 years. Hot sleeping has always been one of my curses, so adding perimenopause to the mix has been my own special hell. But Dyson fans, keeping the bedroom window cracked, and lots of all cotton gauze blankets have been imperative for me in the night. Pillows have always been pillowing, they just get warm and flipping them all night long is just finding the least hot version. I even keep 2 pillow choices on the bed while I sleep, and 2 more an arm’s length away on the chest at the bottom of the bed. Silk pillowcases are great for my hair and skin but they don’t keep cool. THESE PILLOWS, complete with the Beckham cooling pillowcases are chef's kiss. They feel like they’ve been in the fridge. Literally. Now do they stay that way, of course not. But they’re cool enough for me to fall asleep. And if I wake, I use the other side. And if I keep another on standby, I am literally finding the cool side of the pillow all night long. I’m not exaggerating either. These pillows are cool WITH the cooling pillowcases. You can’t use a pillow protector though, even if it’s cotton. It will ruin the effect. And you must use the cooling pillowcases. Do both, and you won’t be disappointed.

Terrible update to a good pillow
Fill Material: Down Alternative, Size: Queen/Standard Size
Purchased this as I was looking to replace tbe previous Beckham hotel pillows I had purchased before. When I saw "newer model available" I ordered it. Wish I had just ordered the same ones as before. First off this was only 1 pillow, not the 2 pack. Since I was only replacing 1 pillow I decided to use it. Huge mistake, my neck has been sore almost everyday. The support of this pillow is terrible, even with trying to added and remove some fill to adjust it. Nothing seems to make a difference. Avoid it and order a different model. Wish I had sent it back for a refund when I got it.

Best Pillow e
Fill Material: Down Alternative, Size: Queen/Standard Size
I’ve been using this pillow for 3 months now. It is, hands down, the BEST pillow I’ve ever had. It’s soft and supportive at the same time. As I noted, I’ve been using it for 3 months and it has maintained its loft unlike some of the other types of pillow I’ve tried. Well worth the price and I highly recommend it.

Just perfect. Well made, No Issues Just one perfect sleep zzzzzzzzzzz😴
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I had down pillows, and foam pillows, and other synthetic pillows etc and some were ok and others were not. I cannot get a great nights sleep if I am constantly having to adjust my pillow during the night. I ordered these pillows as I sleep on my side mostly but sometimes on my back. When they arrived I followed the directions (as they are in a vacuum pack) and only takes a few minutes for them to acclimate. Then put pillow cases on them and off to bed. I had the BEST sleep I have had in YEARS !!!!! The pillows are great. They keep your head comfortable and cool (No Sweating) and super comfortable. The only issue is after a perfect nights sleep, I find I really do not want to get out of bed in the morning..One great thing, is I am retired so I really do not have to get up out of bed until I want to 😴😳. The pillows are well made and feel like expensive down filled pillows but softer. I am VERY satisfied with the pillows. I just wish I would have found these pillows years ago. But now I have them and the perfect sleep that they provide. Dr Dave

Great sleep
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Finally found a pillow that is comfortable. Tested about 5 until I found the right one. This is perfect for back and side sleepers. Firm, but soft. Just enough filling and great quality. Will hold up for many years.
