I really do want one. This is a replica Fokker Dr.1 and is painted just like the Red Baron's triplane. Dad and I have built four Dr.1s in various markings, but only in 1/72 scale, nothing like the size of this one. I found it in the South Australian Aviation Museum at Port Adelaide. I noticed a crazy dog hanging onto one of the cabane struts, so naturally I had to climb up for a chat (you can see me struggling up the slippery yellow frame if you look hard). Turns out the dog was actually a clone of the famous Snoopy! We had a great time but he wouldn't let me take the aeroplane away so it is up to Dad to get one for me.
