About product

Fokker G.1A Jachtkruiser 1:48 (Mikromir)

An injection-molded short-run plastic kit of the Fokker G.1A in 1:48 scale. The manufacturer lists it under the original name of the subject, Jachtkruiser, meaning fighter cruiser, and it is the version with Bristol Mercury radial engines. The decals carry the markings of Dutch military aviation. Check the exact contents of the package on the box.

The real subject

The Fokker G.1 was an unusual machine for its day: a twin-engine, twin-boom heavy fighter with a short central nacelle for the crew and heavy concentrated armament in the nose. When Fokker showed it at the Paris air show in the mid-1930s, it picked up a nickname pointing to the figure of death with a scythe, because its firepower was exceptional in that category. In May 1940 the Dutch G.1s really did fight, although there were few of them and most were destroyed on the ground or in the first days of the fighting. The G.1A version is the one with Bristol Mercury engines.

Building and painting tips

  • this is a short-run mold, so test fit the parts dry first and only then glue them
  • reckon with putty and sanding on the joints of the nacelle and the booms
  • finish the cockpit and the nose armament before you close the nacelle up
  • set both booms to the wing at once so that the model stands true
  • apply a gloss base under the decals, short-run decals are thin

Who the model is for

  • for more experienced modelers, a short-run set has none of the locating features of mass-produced injection kits
  • for collectors of unusual prewar designs
  • for builders interested in Dutch aviation in 1940

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is made in short-run production, so the parts have heavier sprue gates and as a rule have no locating pins. The result is excellent, but the build calls for dry test fitting, putty and sanding.

It is the version with Bristol Mercury radial engines. Fokker also built the G.1 with a different engine installation, so the engine type tells the variants apart.

It is not stated here. The manufacturer also released a separately equipped edition of the same machine, and the contents differ between editions. Check the parts breakdown on the box.

The twin-boom layout with a short central nacelle and the concentrated firepower in the nose. In the heavy fighter category that was an exceptional design at the time.
