Special Hobby 48118 Fokker D.V (1/48) – plastic model kit

The Special Hobby 48118 Fokker D.V in 1/48 scale is a unique offering for aviation modeling enthusiasts and those interested in the history of aviation during World War I. This version faithfully reproduces the characteristic features of the German fighter that served in the Luftstreitkräfte from 1916–1917, being one of the lightest and most maneuverable aircraft of its era.

History and Use: The Fokker D.V was used primarily by the German Empire and entered service near the end of World War I. The plane was a development of Fokker's earlier designs, but its combat career was relatively short. Although it did not outperform newer biplanes, it was widely used for pilot training and in secondary roles. In the field—especially on the Western Front—this model demonstrated great maneuverability, making it a formidable opponent in air combat until more modern Allied designs appeared.
