Fokker BII serie 03.6

During the Great War, the Austro-Hungarian air force turned not only to domestic producers, but also to German manufacturers with orders for aeroplanes. One of the German manufacturers was the famous Fokker factory. This firm supplied the A-H air force with a small number of its Fokker D.II planes. In A-H however, it was designated the B.II. The B.II planes were delivered in two versions with a nine-cylinder engine and twin-bay wings - series 03.55 and with seven-cylinder engine and one-bay wings - serie 03.60. This latter version is depicted in this kit. The model contains mouldings for a Fokker D.II, a frame with the new wings, a large quantity of castings, for engine and the interior, as well as photo etched parts. The decals offer the option of three machines in natural fabric colour. Only one was armed, in addition it had also a different rudder, which is naturally shown in the kit.
