The sprit of Dick Dastardly continues!

Now wouldn't that be a very fun campaign ? Build a vulture squadron plane which theoretically catch the pidgeon ?

:-) :-) :-)

After dat pigeon!!!!!




Modified from Revell 1:72 Fokker Dr.I kit parts.

:-) Nice one Stephen!

Well, I've always like the DFW Floh "Flea".
Eduard made a 1/48 scla e kit of it. :-)

The Phony Phokker E.V. was touted as the last of the war time Phokker’s its characteristics were unmistakable. Some of the equipment will be recognizable as many of its innovations are still in use today. Ahead of its time the E.V was misunderstood, but in the hands of a good pilot it would have done well except for the single draw back that all front line example tended to catch fire mysteriously for no apparent reason while in flight. The problem was seemingly rectified when the motor was removed for Carnival Kiddy Car duties.

Here Oberkellner Max von Rickets searches the skies for his quary.

Note some of the hi-tech instrumentations.

Never mind the Phokkers, do the allies have an answer to the Floh menace?

Here is his earlier mount a Phony Pfokker Fir.I, Flown by Oberkellner Max von Rickets, third cousin to the infamous Bloody Baron. Known affectionately as the ‘Flying Blue Carbuncle’ by his fellow members of Jasta 44DD is probably the least famous of all German pilots from this time. His combat record shows 27 aircraft brought down and destroyed. Unfortunately he was flying all of them at the time. During a 1919 Trans - Channel flight he was lost. In 1989 a bottle was found floating in the Indian Ocean saying that he was alive and well in Buenos Aires and awaiting rescue.

Awaiting its next mission.

Here is a bit of fun... Anyone interested in building a hypothetical biplane ? It could be strictly based on your sense of humour.

Here is one that really flew. the Fokker V.8
