Fokker Spinne 1/32 Scratch Build

By Des Delatorre

Just finished my 1:32 scale scratch built Fokker Spinne (Spider). Quite an unusual aeroplane being one of the first designed by Anthony Fokker back in 1910. This is a very basic aircraft, turning was achieved by rudder only as there are no ailerons, elevators are of the warping type, engine is a 50hp four cylinder water cooled. The only things I didn't make were the Doug Craner laminated wood propeller and the John Vojtech spoked wheels.
