It''s such an obscure aircraft, I must admit I never thought I''d see a 1/48 scale kit of the F.K.58. So it was a real surprise to spot an advert for Planet Models'' latest release and, while the original aircraft might have been unsuccessful, this all-resin kit definitely isn''t - it''s a beauty!

Hi Rowan!

Nice Review!

As you know, I already ordered the kit and it must approach the French coast by now! Like you I have a particulary tenderness for those unsuccessfull planes that only saw limited operational use... it must be our "romantic" side I'm happy to see its' a great kit! Maybe we can start a Koolhoven Campaign in the next days! :-)

Hi Jean-Luc

You're going to love this kit when it arrives! I don't know about a Koolhoven Campaign, but we should definitely get a 1939-40 build going some day to cover the outbreak of WW2 through to the Fall of France.

All the best
