This is a single-type GB of the Fokker Triplane - any kit, any scale, any variant, any markings.
October 2017 is the centenary of the combat debut of the DR.I version (not the earlier F.1).

This GB started from a thread here.

The GB runs from October 1st to 29th; your GBL is Vickervandal who will fill in any other info.

Lots of exciting colourful schemes to choose from makes for good modelling options. The tripe was mostly flown by aces, who really liked to personalise.

Unfortunately holidays have ended for me now and work has resumed and is once again attacking me with a vengeance. I think it's going to be more of a challenge than I initially anticipated to finish in time :sad:
