Black Knight Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 A suggestion. Well in advance as this ere forum works that way and it takes time to get the required numbers A 'Fokker' GB in 2022 I noticed that Antony Fokker started his first company on 22nd February 1912 So 2022 will 110 years of Fokker There are plenty of models, from the E.I / II / III / IV series, the ubiquitous Dr.1, D. VII and the D.XXI to the F.27 100 and more, and all sorts of numbers and types in between. Excluded are the types that Fokker bought in and sold on as a sales agent Anyone for it? 1.

Anatol Pigwa Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 A World War II pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force. "In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared. I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me." At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company" "That's true," says the pilot, "but these fokkers were Messerschmidts." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this attributed (wrongly) to Douglas Bader. Memorably Stan Boardman ("the Jairmans") told the tale to a clearly hugely embarrassed Des O'Connor in the 80s. Boardman wasn't seen on TV much after that! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) BTW @Black Knight sign me up, I have a Fw 190 that'll tick the box! EDIT: I have got completely the wrong end of the stick here, haven't I? 🤣 Edited January 20, 2021 by TonyOD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I'd join with a 1/48 Fokker D VII 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I do have some DVIIs and Eindeckers in the stash and I do like small airliners, so sign me up 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob S Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Sounds like a good excuse to build a Revell 1:144 F100 in Flight West or Alliance livery if allowed as the above intro only mentions up to the F27? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Would the Fokker T.IVA be eligible ? https://www.scalemates.com/kits/planet-models-plt051-fokker-tiva--112908 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lloyd Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I was trying to gain support for an SE5a STGB, but it sort of got lost in the changeover to the Bunfight! system. Although the Fokkers are among my least favourite Great War machines, I'm in for the sake of supporting modelling interest in this conflict, whose hobby representation seems so far short of its interest to historians and readers. I'll probably do a DVII. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Boater Bill Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Count me in! I’m building a collection of colorful 1/72 WW1 fighters, I’ve got 4 more Eduard Dr.1s in the stash still to do, plus two more Eduard D.VIIs yet to do.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
