Fokker E.V models are on the way to modelers right now. So it is a good time to show an inbox review of both kits. Let’s go to open a box!<\/p>\n

In the preparation of the model, we used the experience gained with PZL P.7a model kit design. The Fokker E.V is a very simple construction; we managed to capture the model’s shape, including the collapse of the canvas on a steel tube structure. A one-piece wing was a problematic part. It did not result from a complicated shape, but from its thickness. As a rule, modelling companies either make a two-part wing or tighten the wing profile to avoid collapsing of the plastic, so-called sinks. A thick profile is a characteristic feature of Fokker E.V, so we decided to mould it in scale. But we made a mistake by putting the one-piece wing back to the direction of flow of the plastic. At lower injection pressure, sinks were created due to too little plastic filling the mould in this place. To remedy this, we widened the inlet channels and gave more pressure to the injected material. Unfortunately, it will be harder to cut out the wings now, and there will be little, almost invisible collapse on the model. You can just sand it after priming or leave them intact as traces of “working” the plywood sheathing.<\/p>\n
