Oh my!  That's more of my cash disappearing.  Always loved the look of the G-1.  Simply MUST get one of these!!!

[occa 806]

Will they do the P/W equipped version too ?

[praded-dembelya 1,198]

I can not buy this book anywhere. Who can help?

[mhaselden 1,163]

There's one for sale on Abebooks for US $95.

 

I'm not associated with the vendor or with Abebooks...but I must admit to enjoying shopping at the latter!

[Branky 91]

This book is completely out of print in Holland and very!  much sought after.  I do have a copy and am happy to make scans wherever needed!

If Mikro Mir needs help  ttey can contact me

[Branky 91]

For out Austrian friend: The Pratt and Witney variant will be a Fokker G1b which differs very much from the G1a in dimensions and would need a complete new kit.  The G.I Wasp had a significantly smaller fuselage length and reduced wingspan/area.

G.1 Wasp

length: 10.38m (33.9 ft), (G1a 10.87 m)  

wingspan: 16.50m (54.2 ft), (G1a 17.16 m (56.29 ft)  

wing area: 35.70 m² (384.27) ft². (G1a 38.30 m² (412.26 ft²)

I simply keep my fingers crossed would be such a welcome addition  i think that many modelers over here in The Netherlands will agree

 

[mhaselden 1,163]

Not just in the Netherlands, robvd.  There are others of us out here who like to make kits other than Spitfires, P-51s and Me109s.  This G-1 would look great alongside a 1/48 Douglas A-17 (if Antarki can keep that project moving forward).

fascinating.....

Good to  see something unusual 

[Arniec 5,232]

O, I would love to see a injection molded one.

I have still got the Classic Airframes resin one, but that still gives me the creepes.

 

Cheers,

MikroMir need your help.

The appropriate people have responded on the FB page. There's a G-1 foundation in Holland trying to construct a full size 3d CAD model with the intention of building

a flying replica, who surely have that information.

Hope Mikro Mir will also consider one in 1/72. Old MPM kit is very inaccurate (fuselage wrong cross-section, tail booms wrong length).

Just discovered this, I hadn't  known they had a recce version of it:

[praded-dembelya 1,198]

I know this version and I like it. It should be.

[Branky 91]

It was only tested on the 302 and 304 pre mobilisation so with roundels as markings instead of triangles

This will be a great accompaniment to my Fokker D-23 !!

 

Bring it on !!

Another vote for a 1/72 version. The MPM kit is impossible to get and it's far from state of the art, not to mention inaccurate. I'd buy a stack if they release it.

[Hub Plott 332]

Can't wait for this one!!!!!

[Branky 91]

I am surprised by the big bomb under the fuselage. The Fokker G1 had an internal bomb bay with two doors with plexiglass windows for observation and I do'nt think that these doors will hold bombs of any kind…

[dragonlanceHR 217]

Looks like the bomb carrier is lowered, but the open bomb doors are not shown.

Don't use the bomb. It was never possible this way!
