Orso Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) The Baron and his Fünfdekker Fokker was released in 1971,I managed to get one a couple of years later and built it straight out of the box. I probably didn't even paint it. It was already red. After some years I decided to remove two wings and the V8 engine to get a Triplane. I then painted it gren and red like the boxtop on the Revell 1/72 kit. I've wanted to build this kit again for many years and in 2005 I found an old kit at a reasonable price so I built a Triplane again. Those old kits had self adhesive stickers so I made new decals for it. I wanted a second kit to build as the Fünfdecker with the V8 as well but I found the kits to expensive but finally it was re released by Revell so I went for it. I think that I need a third kit. I didn't manage to build the V8 version. As I had the V8 left over from the Triplane build I decided to make this one a double V8 engined plane. Strange. After waiting all those years to build it, I fail. But it was the same with the Tijuana Taxi I never managed to find as a kid. When I finally got the chance I blew it big time: https://baecklund.eu/scalemodels/gig/tijuana.html I had to get a second kit and build it again: https://baecklund.eu/scalemodels/gig/tijtaxi.html But finally I managed to finish the Baron. It has been lurking on the desk for month waiting for the wheels and the propeller. Edited June 2, 2022 by Orso Fixing damaged link 8 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
