Book is a Dutch version of the earlier book 'Le Fokker D.21' by Peter de Jong as published in France some years ago by Lela Press. However, there will be many updates and new images. One of the cooperators of this Dutch version is Willem Vredeling, co-author of our Fokker S.14 Machtrainer book.

Interesting to compare this profile with the Catalina that is at present still airworthy in the Netherlands.
I still hope to fly with this beauty as a passenger!

I fully agree De Havillland built some very nice looking machines!
This is another example: the DH-91 Albatros.
About time that a nice model kit of this type will be released; would be a good effort for Airfix!!

Believe there is also a kit of the PCH-1 High Point; have seen it somewhere on Internet!
Aurora kits are now collector's item; kit from Tucumcari would certainly be such a rare kit.
Still hope to find the old Aurora 1/48 scale Lockheed XFV-1!! Or better, two: one for building and one for keeping!

I was already afraid we, aircraft model builders, are only getting older and greyer.
At least there seems to be some hope for the future!
Model buidling should be obligatory on all primary schools!!!!

Denke dass die Deutsche Sprache fuer die meiste Forumteilnehmer kein problem ist!
Tamiya once had this kit; I have the OH-6 Cayuse kit still unbuilt.
It has a price tag of Dutch Fl 9.95 (some Euro 4.50) and was supplied by model kit supplier 'Merkelbach' a company that has gone bankrupt many years ago.
Think kit must be from early seventies!!
