Kurt Student Fokker E.IV (full color)

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Fokker E.IV 163/16 of Oblt. Kurt Student of AOK3 Fokkerstaffel. Student commanded 3rd Armee Fokkerstaffel after starting by flying Albatros two-seaters on the Eastern Front.  In October 1916 he was promoted to command Jasta 9, where he stayed until the spring of 1918.  He scored six air victories and one probable, surviving both World Wars and passing away in 1978.

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-Student-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).
