Homebee Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) In project/design by MikroMir is a 1/48th Fokker G-1A Jachtkruiser kit - ref. 48-016 Source: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1512478232163241&id=1416295571781508 3D renders in progress V.P. Edited May 6, 2022 by Homebee 6
mhaselden Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Oh my! That's more of my cash disappearing. Always loved the look of the G-1. Simply MUST get one of these!!!
praded-dembelya Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I can not buy this book anywhere. Who can help? http://www.lanasta.com/Shop/product/121/fokker-g1-le-faucheur.html
mhaselden Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 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 Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 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 1
Branky Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 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) 2
robvd Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 I simply keep my fingers crossed would be such a welcome addition i think that many modelers over here in The Netherlands will agree 1
mhaselden Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 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). 2
Troy Smith Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 fascinating..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_G.I Good to see something unusual
Arniec Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 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,
Homebee Posted November 17, 2017 Author Posted November 17, 2017 MikroMir need your help. Source: https://www.facebook.com/mikro.mir.dnepr/posts/1687977061280023 V.P.
Roger Holden Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 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). 2

occa Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Just discovered this, I hadn't known they had a recce version of it: http://www.strijdbewijs.nl/top/g-1.htm 2
praded-dembelya Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 I know this version and I like it. It should be. 3
Branky Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 It was only tested on the 302 and 304 pre mobilisation so with roundels as markings instead of triangles

roginoz Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 This will be a great accompaniment to my Fokker D-23 !! Bring it on !! Rog
sroubos Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 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. 3
Branky Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 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 Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Looks like the bomb carrier is lowered, but the open bomb doors are not shown.

Dutchplanes Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Don't use the bomb. It was never possible this way! 1 1
