Well here is my little Fokker D.XXI by MPM. It was a quick and enjoyable build though I wish they had provided skis as that would have been my choice for landing gear on this bird. It is Jorma Sarvanto’s plane of LLV 24 in early April 1940 just before being handed over to LLv 32. I added only tail braces, radio wire, gun barrels and seat belts to the stock kit. More could be done but this satisfied me.
Hope you like it!
Happy modeling!!

Nice build ! I’ve always liked that big radial engine & slim rear fuselage. Makes me wish I had got the Classic Airframes kit when it was available. I’ve built a few of their 1/48 kits. Do their 1/72 kits have the same large sprue attachments & rough edges? You did an excellent job of cleaning the parts. Well done !
Very nice kit, thanks for the pics.
looks good. well done.

Nice job
Thanks much for the kind words all…Pix …this was the MPM kit and I have to say the parts are very well molded. Good fit with little or no clean up needed!
A couple more shots…
that looks great ninedriver!!![tup][tup][tup] keep em’ comin’ my friend. later.
Very nice. And something unusual too
Very nice Joe. I really like this subject. Even built the old Frog kit a long time ago. Nice to see more obscure subjects being released by ‘main’ manufacturers, and even nicer to see them built by good modelers!
Keep up the good work!

Nice build.
Looks great, especially for 1/72.

Very nice build. I also wish MPM had included a ski option as a great many of the Finnish DXX!'s flew in that cofiguration. Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming.
Dan,
[:0] Uh oh. I know a few Finns that would bristle at that characterization of their national markings. [:0]
Joe,
That’s an excellent build. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I read a review in FSM, many, many years ago, of a model of this plane. I can’t remember the maker, but I remember that the kit had some white metal parts. Was the kit you built a multi-media kit?
Regards,
Oops! My apologies to the Finnish folk out there. Even spelled their name wrong!
Thanks Lufbery,
This was a mainly plastic kit with only the prop hub being done in resin. The parts are very well done with plenty of detail though.
Joe
Great little model of an underrated fighter plane. You did a good job on the finish (one n [:D]) too. Can’t really tell it’s only 1/72!
