AIRFIX FOKKER EII (late) EINDECKER (1/72)
The Airfix Fokker E.II Eindecker kit recreates the German fighter that revolutionized air combat in World War I. In precise 1/72 scale, this model captures the distinctive monoplane design that gave the Luftstreitkräfte a temporary edge in the skies during the “Fokker Scourge.”
Product Info:
This 1/72 scale plastic model kit from Airfix reproduces the Fokker E.II (late production), one of the earliest true fighter aircraft. With fine surface detail, accurate parts, and historic decals, it’s a great choice for WWI aviation enthusiasts and hobbyists of all skill levels.
About the Vehicle:
The Fokker Eindecker series, introduced in 1915, was the first German aircraft fitted with synchronized machine guns, allowing pilots to fire through the propeller arc without damaging the blades. The E.II variant featured a more powerful engine and slight structural improvements, making it deadlier in combat. Its arrival led to a period of German air superiority known as the “Fokker Scourge,” during which Allied pilots found themselves at a severe disadvantage until newer designs countered it.
About the Model:
This kit delivers the slender, pioneering look of the Eindecker with accurate wing bracing, fuselage lines, and propeller detail. It includes decals for historically accurate Luftstreitkräfte markings and instructions for an authentic finish. The compact design makes it an excellent project for modelers interested in the dawn of aerial warfare.
