The Fokker Eindecker, was the first aircraft armed with a machine gun synchronized to fire through the propeller. The cutting edge early aviation model manufacturer Wingnut Wings brings us their newest kit depicting the Fokker E.I. Let's crack the box.

Comprehensive, but I find it so hard to read. I guess I'd need the kit with me, or be a hardcore WWI expert to understand it.

Long time lurker with only a few posts to my name. But I liked it. As a matter of fact the early aviation stuff here seems more helpful than most. Just my opinion.

So much of the article refers to kit part numbers, and needs to be cross referenced constantly, but it does look very comprehensive.

Hi Jim

I know Stephen puts a heck of a lot of effort into his work.

But point well taken - my own review of the E.IV is "brewing", so I'll run a couple of extra passes on it to try to ensure it's accessible to those who aren't lucky enough to have the kit in front of them. I can't promise you won't feel the need to be equally critical though...

All the best

Rowan
