Fokker E.V/D.VIII Ger/Dutch/Polish WWI 1918 Fighter Aircraft 1:72

The Fokker E.V was the last fighter type built by Antony Fokker for the German Fliegertruppe during WWI. The aircraft was a plywood-covered, fully cantilevered parasol wing configuration.

The E.V was just in time for the Second Fighter Competition (July 1918). The Plane was regarded as the best of the rotary - engined competitors. Production started immediately, and in July the first production planes were delivered to the Front. The performance was impressive and pilots nicknamed the plane the "Flying Razor". But after two flying accidents on August 16 and 19, when a wing failed in flight, the type was immediately grounded for investigation. Production was stopped, and all previously made E.V's were returned to the Fokker factory.

This kit builds one plastic Fokker E.V/D.VIII Ger/Dutch/Polish WWI 1918 Fighter Aircraft in 1:72 scale. 

Product supplied unpainted and requires assembly.
