Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Anthony Fokker and his companies created some interesting aircraft. Name Fokker aircraft you'd desire to build in large scale. The F-32 would be one interesting choice. Another? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 My next build will probably be the Fokker E.V/D.VIII. I bought the Micro Mir kit along with a Copper State Oberursel engine, Aviattic resin for seat and cowling, Lozenge from Aviattic and Decals from Pheon. This will be an interesting project, where I will solder the fragile struts from brass tube with Albion connectors. For later I have a Wingnut Wings D.VII F along with lots of bits and pieces and this will be a bit more relaxing than the former mentioned D.VIII. Speaking about Micro Mir, I may buy their Fokker G-1a kit, but that is not LS. Cheers Rob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 I used to fly around Australia during the 1970's when I moved from job to job as a child often in the Fokker Friendship. I am looking at the 1/72 Italeri version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I had to look it up Dale, because I imagined you were talking about this: Apologies.... I don't pay much attention to unarmed or many modern aircraft. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
