A package of finishing accessories for a large-scale model of the first Fokker monoplane committed to combat. It holds laser-cut belts, two photo-etched sets, a masking film and a test wood-grain decal.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Fokker E.I came to the front in the summer of 1915 and brought with it a novelty that nobody had reliably managed until then: a synchronization gear that let a machine gun fire between the blades of the propeller. The pilot stopped aiming the weapon and began aiming the whole aircraft. In design it was an unremarkable machine with a steel tube frame, wing warping instead of ailerons and an Oberursel U.0 rotary engine of eighty horsepower. It was on exactly this type that Max Immelmann and Oswald Boelcke scored their first kills, and the British press soon began using the term Fokker Scourge. Only a few dozen were built, because stronger versions quickly took their place.
The engine set deserves a special mention. The rotary engine is exposed on the monoplane and forms a prominent part of the silhouette, so every added detail tells on it. The photo-etched parts round out the valve gear and the small fittings that cannot be produced in injection-molded plastic.
Before you work, have a surface ready from which a small part will not roll away. Photo-etched parts are cut strictly with sheet metal shears, as plastic nippers crush the edge and the part will never sit flat again.
The set will be enjoyed most by anyone who wants to leave both the cockpit and the powerplant exposed and show what is under the skin.
