Zigomar Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Well, that will be be the last of the serie, but certainly the most interesting indeed. By 1941 Finland was part of the Axis, and ,as such, could not except any spare parts from Britain. As a matter of fact , the Mercury engined Fokker were in need of modernisation. The availability of US engines led to the transformation of the "Sarja" in something hybrid, but the Finnish air Force was in need of anything which could fly and fight! So the wasp engine Fokker was born! A different engine, a longer hood, different tail surfaces and rudder and that was it! Here are pics of the plane of Maj. L. Bremer in Syyskuu, in September 41. Best regards and mny thanks for those who shown an interest is this small but courageous nation aviation. 0398F902-4763-4AD7-B513-9B620C81D954_1_201_a by jean Barby, sur Flickr 7E84A554-81CD-4EB3-BB34-2DB701F1EDC9_1_201_a by jean Barby, sur Flickr 18FDC114-13CF-408F-99B4-6D5E84BB2A11_1_201_a by jean Barby, sur Flickr 6B7CC558-23AA-4A37-A8D9-33AE7D2D88CE_1_201_a by jean Barby, sur Flickr 3D72292D-9CB0-4700-BB52-CD4C238DA495_1_201_a by jean Barby, sur Flickr 9850B426-6088-4CDF-AF7F-FF24A4C2562D_1_201_a by jean Barby, sur Flickr 0F3BD0FC-CE74-499B-A4FC-2CA2C55AFF70 by jean Barby, sur Flickr 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 More Finnish Fokkers🙂 And what a beauty this is! I think this my favourite "Ukko-Mokkeri" in your collection. Well done. When can we expect Morane MS 406 or a Caudron in Finnish markings?😉 My grandfather used to fly a Morane during the Winter War. The fighter base was located at our summer cottage. Cheers, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 What @Antti_K said goes double for me! My very favorite Finnish fighter in my very favorite scheme and markings, too. Beautiful model! Now, how about a Morko-Morane? Mike BTW, the ground crew need to take a look at that oil cooler! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigomar Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 I never did built a Morko-Morane. But as a French I will soon post a Finnish MS-406 so stay tuned! Cheers and take care of the Roses of san Antonio! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zigomar Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Oh oh! Do we have some Bob Wills fans over there? Cause I'm one, but my real heroes are Flatt & Scruggs! Country rocks but Bluegrass rules! Hee How! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Oh man, I just love Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys! At their peak, they were the most versatile big band in the country, and were admired by great jazz musicians like Count Basie's band. An example of that: Big Beaver Bob is still missed around here. In fact, one of their first gigs in Texas, after leaving Oklahoma and the Light Crust Flour company, was here in my hometown, Cameron Texas. Here's one that says it all about Bob: Bob Wills is still the King Bluegrass? 😀 Have you heard Del McCoury do this Richard Thompson classic? Oh boy! 1952 Vincent Black Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
