Administrators James H Posted September 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 21, 2014 That's looking particularly good, and those schemes are excellent. The large swastika on the German machine looks bizarre. Got to be a contender for a build I would've thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted September 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 21, 2014 I seriously can't wait for this. Especially since my grandfather built these machine's. The three mice are my favorite.... Thats the machine in the Dutch military aviation museum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Can't wait to get my hands on one too. I have been searching for the wreck of one that crashed prewar. Would be nice to do it in those colours. The Dutch version had thinner legs. The example at Soesterberg has the wrong beefier legs as used on the Finnish Fokkers. So there is a difference.

Silverwings Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thank you Cees, we received tons of documentation, even original documents from that years but we were aware of that fact. We did a good research 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 When can we expect this beauty? Will you be doing a Fokker G1 as well? Now that would be something. Cees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverwings Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 When can we expect this beauty? Will you be doing a Fokker G1 as well? Now that would be something. Cees Cees, it should be in distribution within next 2 months. No, definietly we are not interested in the G1 - it's too big as for resin kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverwings Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Dear Friends and Customers,Since the beginning of work on the Fokker DXXI and PZL P.11, we rightly assumed that they would be very ambitious projects. We want to give modellers a thrill while opening these boxes. The size and complexity of the models, which are their key advantages, have a decisive influence on the course of a production. Now, nearly completing the work, we can see how many details still need to be fixed. Releasing such historically significant subjects, we must make sure that any errors are eliminated to a level allowing full enjoyment of the box' content. Looking realistically at the current progress and remaining workload, we came to the conclusion that we need a little more time. The team is working at the maximum speed but we need additional few weeks and therefore have to move the Fokker DXXI's release date forward to the end of January. We feel that we owe you apologies for this. We admit we set the initial date too soon and it is our lesson for the future. We duly apologize and we thank you for the support you show us every day. We really appreciate it. It gives us extra strength.The Silver Wings Team 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beychevelle Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Something like a lifetime dream coming true. The decals...is it the lighting? the triangle national markings look too red imho. Are there any instrument dial decals to go behind the pe panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beychevelle Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 To answer my own question...the instrument dials are provided on a clear film. Very nicely done with fine details. Keep in mind...the details are transparent, so add a white backing to the film or you won't see much of it. The interior details of the cockpit are impresive. A complete tube frame...to be build like a WnW kit. The pilot seat...just great...and so are the pe ip and seatbelts. Very, very nice. The fabric covered part of the fuselage can use some linen texture decals (Microsculpt) imho, but that's fine. The decals...sorry, but I've seen better. I'll use decals from Dutch Decals and Flevo Decals instead. Clear parts look good. A tad bit on the thick side, but clear and no significant distortion. Nice manual. Overall: Great stuff Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Mine arrived this week and if it assembles as good as it looks it will be great. Cheers Dennis 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
