Far more than a conventional instruction manual, this is your mission briefing.

Originally conceived as companion publications to our Gothaforce 3.0 kits, Briefings have been designed to stand proudly on their own as premium publications for aviation enthusiasts, historians and modelers alike.

Across no less than 32 beautifully designed pages, each edition is packed with clear, comprehensive, full-color step-by-step assembly instructions, detailed illustrations, practical modeling guidance, historical research, technical insight, reference photography and stunning aviation artwork. Every element has been carefully curated to create a publication that's as enjoyable to read as it is useful at the workbench.

The experience begins even before you turn the first page. Printed on premium linen-textured cover stock, they offer an authentic fabric-like feel inspired by the doped linen covering of First World War aircraft. Its distinctive finish not only enhances the tactile experience but also delivers the durability and elegance expected of a collector's edition.

To complete the experience, every Briefing comes with premium RENZ Wire-O binding, renowned for its precision and durability. The result is a publication that opens perfectly flat, allowing effortless consultation at the workbench while preserving its refined appearance on the bookshelf.

Unlike the historical editions in this series, Briefing Fokker D.VII O.A.W. 3.0 Seven Samurai explores a different path. While its striking Japanese-inspired appearance is the product of artistic imagination, it is firmly rooted in history, taking as its foundation the famous Fokker D.VII O.A.W. "Die Sieben Schwaben" of Uffz. Alfred Bäder, one of the Great War's most distinctive and celebrated aircraft.

Briefing Fokker D.VII O.A.W. 3.0 Seven Samurai therefore presents both worlds. It explores the fascinating story and historical significance of Bäder's original aircraft through research, reference photography and Ronny Bar's aviation profiles, before following the creative journey that transformed it into Seven Samurai, the inaugural aircraft of our Jasta GF series. The result is a unique blend of historical authenticity and artistic interpretation, demonstrating that while imagination may take flight, it is always at its best when built upon a solid historical foundation.

Whether used at the workbench or displayed on the bookshelf, they are designed to be enjoyed long after the final part has found its place, combining history, craftsmanship and premium presentation in a publication worthy of the aircraft it celebrates.
