Subject: Fokker G1.A
Manufacturer: Peter's Planes link
Scale: 1/144
Medium: resin
Price: A$10
The kit consists of a one piece fuselage/wing/boom assembly, a horizontal stabilizer, landing gears, and propellers. Peter also makes vacu-form and clear resin parts available for the canopy & observation windows. The mini required a little cleaning, trimming, and putty but nothing too demanding. The kit has outlines identifying canopy and observation windows. The control surfaces are also outlined. Peter has decals available for this model too. Since this mini is meant for gaming I filled-in the landing gear wells and made my own propeller hubs (the kit has propellers but I didn't want to fiddle with cutting off the blades & sanding the kit's spinners smooth).
Recommendation: Nice mini, I recommend it. Modeling skills are required as it does need some filling, trimming, and assembly.
Check out the Peter's Planes website (first link above) as there are some very interesting models there, many not available in 1/144 any place else.
