Fokker XXI

[PaulTRose]

a quick build for a What if GB somewhere else


Kit is by PM Models....for those that done know PM are defunct company from Turkey.......quite low quality but did subjects no one else did


i picked this up a few years ago along with a few others for not a lot of money.....perfect whiff fodder!, especially since the decals are garbage


plan is to keep it simple.......it comes with skis and well as wheels, not sure which i will use yet, best looking ones i guess lol


plain green with Swiss markings i think

Interesting subject.


The colour scheme on the art box looks very cool...I like it!

I wonder if this is the old Frog kit under a different name?.

According to Scalemates it was first boxed by Pioneer2 Models in 1990, re-boxed in 1995 by Matchbox and again in the 2000s by PM Model. Pioneer2 was a British company but many of their kits were moulded in Turkey. It appears after the founder of PM Models passed away last year, the family decided to scrap all moulds, so there will not be any new PM kits.

No more pm kits that's a shame as I've built a couple of these myself and I like them. The box art on the fokker looks great looking forward to your progress

IT does seem to be an obscure Short run company, but the art looks nice. BTW, this is finnish. FInland bought tons of aricraft from germany during the war and between the wars. This included Bf 109s, Heinkels etc, but most notably, the BF 109G-6
