Einar Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 This is my model of the Dutch manufactured short-range jet airliner Fokker F28-1000 Fellowship. The plane made its maiden flight in May, 1967 and during the next twenty years total of 241 Felloships were built. The first airline to operate the plane was the Norwegian "Braathens S.A.F.E." (= South America and Far East) The company had a total of six Fellowships in their fleet. One of them crashed in December, 1972 near the Fornebu airport (the old airport of Oslo) because of navigational error. Afterwards the company decided to delete the somewhat misleading abbreviation SAFE. I built the model from a 1/144 scale Authentic Airliners resin kit. The Braathens livery decals are from 26Decals and the cockpit/cabin window decals from Authentic Airlines. Building the kit was straightforward without any problems. I sprayed the upper side of the fuselage with Tamiya Fine surface primer which I then covered with Tamiya clear gloss spray. The underside of fuselage and the wings were then painted with Mr. Hobby grey 1000 primer. Since the primer was of the right grey shade I covered it with the Tamiya Clear gloss spray, as well. For the smaller details I also used Humbrol enamels and Vallejo acrylics. 36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vingtor Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Very nice model, Einar! I have the kit myself, and will built it some day.... The actual cause of the accident you mention has not been established, though. The investigation pointed out a number of possible causes, navigation error being just one of them.

kapam Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Beautiful job. Love the way you have treated the cockpit windows - really effective. I have a soft spot for the F-28; probably because I also love the F-27 Friendship. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyingdutchman Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 As a Dutchman I can only applaud for making a Fokker. You made a brilliant model of this. The painting and decaling look excellent. Cheers Evert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
