Read MoreI had the Monogram plastic model kit and the Hotwheels version of this iconic hot rod when I was a kid, the legendary Red Baron. Every kid knew this car, and we all wanted one.

I had a really cool Red Baron model kit when I was a kid. Of course I really had no idea what it represented, who Manfred von Richthofen was or who was fighting who and for what reason 50 years before I was born.

When I was a kid I had a really cool Revell model kit of the Red Baron. This triplane by matthewvelar1 totally reminds me of it.
