Historical Context:

The Fokker E.V, powered by a 110 hp Oberursel Ur.II rotary engine and armed with two synchronized machine guns, was designed to meet the need for a high-performance monoplane fighter. Despite stability issues, it entered service in the final months of World War I.

The Fokker D.VIII, an evolution of the E.V, became famous for its ruggedness and firepower. It appeared late on the battlefield but quickly earned the nickname "Flying Razor" for its formidable reputation. Although the war ended shortly after its introduction, the D.VIII left a lasting impression as the war's last aerial victor.

This captivating model kit provides history enthusiasts and modelers alike with the opportunity to relive the tumultuous era of World War I and appreciate the remarkable engineering of the Fokker E.V/D.VIII.
