Fokker E.IV

One final attempt to extend the life of the Fokker Eindeckers was made by installing the two-row Oberursel U.III rotary engine and twin machine guns.  While the increased firepower was appreciated, the increased weight made the plane even less nimble, and some E.IV pilots even reverted to the Fokker E.III.  Forty to fifty were built, with deliveries starting in mid-1916, by which time they were already outclassed by more maneuverable Entente fighters.

This model comes in 1:144 and 1:285/6mm/1:288 scales.  With the 1:285 product, you get two aeroplanes, and each comes with a detachable, translucent propeller disk rather than propeller blades.  The 1:285 planes are connected by removable sprues to keep the costs down.

DESIGNER NOTE:  Models at scales smaller than 1:144 may no longer be available.  Shapeways discontinued the material for which they were designed, and the newer materials require that each and every model be adjusted to thicken surfaces like wings.  If you are interested in a particular model in a small scale, please let me know and I will prioritize it higher in the queue.
