Fokker C.Is - the German/ Dutch reconnaissance aircraft

The "Fokker" C.I was a two-seat mixed construction 1 1/2-wing reconnaissance aircraft and was effectively an enlarged version of the "Fokker' D.VII fighter. During tests in Germany in 1918 it was designated U.38, after which the serial production of airplanes was started immediately, but it did not have time to participate in the First World War. The Fokker company continued to produce aircraft in Holland after the war. More, than 250 aircraft of this type were produced. C.I planes were easily identified by the fuel tank, mounted on the axle of the wheels, which was surrounded by a sleek wing-shaped fairing. As claimed by the manufacturer, this hood generated additional lift power. The last copy of the plane was written off in 1938 from the AF of the Dutch Navy.

From the details in the publication it is possible to make a model of the plane, which, marked with the board number 510, served in the Dutch Air Force from June 11, 1920 to March 26, 1926. The model is not complex, but well designed and detailed, suitable for beginners (not as one of the first models) and modelers with little experience, but we recommend, that they work under the supervision of a more experienced colleague. Excellent textual instructions in Ukrainian, German, Polish and English, detailed graphic instructions. Perhaps the only drawback of the publication is the lack of color stock.
