This brand new 1/72 scale model of the Junkers D.I Fighter Aircraft "Western Front" German Air Service, produced by Wings of the Great War, comes in its original unopened packaging and features a highly detailed exterior with true-to-scale accuracy. Made of resin and measuring approximately 4 inches in length with a 5-inch wingspan, the model includes a display stand but does not have any functional openings. The Junkers D.I was a pioneering aircraft introduced in the final months of World War I, recognized as the world’s first all-metal monoplane fighter to enter service. Developed by Hugo Junkers, it was constructed primarily from duralumin, a lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy, giving it superior durability compared to the wood-and-canvas planes of the era. Its cantilever wing design eliminated external bracing wires, resulting in a streamlined and innovative aircraft for its time. First deployed to the Western Front in autumn 1918, the D.I saw limited combat due to its late introduction, but pilots valued its strong airframe and resistance to battle damage, which provided survivability in dogfights. While not the fastest aircraft, its ability to sustain hits and remain airborne made it a reliable asset during its brief operational period. The D.I participated in the German defense against Allied counterattacks during the Hundred Days Offensive, marking a significant advancement in military aviation technology despite its limited deployment. This 1:72 scale model faithfully captures the design excellence and innovation of the Junkers D.I, making it a perfect collectible for aviation enthusiasts and history aficionados.
