New Fokkerwerke Germany 2012

Hello,

in my search, I discovered on Ebay the new Fokkerwerke Germany.

I'm surprised that some people buy these things.

A big joke for 15.000 Euro.

greetings Matz

Curious. The thing is a mock-up, made almost entirely of wood.
Don't expect to fly it or anything!

Marc,

It's just only embarrassing.

...so realistic!
I need one now!
It is so lovely, it must be a long-lost original!


Cheers,

Maybe if it comes with the shed (it looks stuck inside, unless they can remove that post in front), there is a deal to be had?

Dave,
Forward your address and I will ship the new composite version to you by end of month for only 10K euros. Special pricing this week only.
The local JK has finally acquired composite construction skills using the famous French papier-mache technique. Much lighter than the old-fashioned wood versions, You can hang this one from your bedroom ceiling on string, if you're ceiling is high enough.
Place your order this week and we will include a roll of cotton batting to simulate smoke trailing from the aft end.
Regards
Maxim

On a slightly more serious note, this individual/group has been advertising for quite some time now, certainly into last year, which suggests that perhaps they have clients. I don't know how the cost would compare, but Arizona Models promote their ability to provide a full size, static display kit of almost any aircraft.

I like the tiny tyres and red prop. Maybe good for hanging up in a pub where lots of drinking unfocuses the eyes?

I was very surprised when I read that the covering is made ​​from 4mm plywood.
Wow.... 4mm is very much and I think soon we will have no more the black forest.
It's more a J1 as a Dr.1,

@Jim Bruton
If you need replacement parts, then you can ask there,.....lol.....
Sorry Jim, it's just a joke or fun.

I am really looking at the prop Matz.

All red- I wonder if they can make one in black & white stripes?

No problem, I ask for you. But have a look at the "shipping costs"
$ 3,000 is not really cheap.

looooooool,......greetings
