Product Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Fokker E.IV 127/15 as flown by Oblt. Max Immelmann of FFA62. Immelmann started his career on the Fokker E.I, but he switched to the twin-gun E.IV when it became available. One of the earliest ace-heroes, Immelmann scored fifteen victories before falling in a fight against F.E.2bs of 25 Squadron. It is still disputed whether his plane was brought down by enemy gunfire or by a defective synchronizer causing him to damage his own propeller.
No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use. It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired. The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit. The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card. You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:FokE4-Immelmann-card.jpg.
Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks. Both are robust materials and fine for gaming. Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces. "Matte HDFC" choice mean the prints are spray-coated in the factory, and the difference with the coating is subtle. You can find more material photos and comparisons at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35581-Material-HDFC-vs-Full-Color-Nylon-12-(MJF).
