The subject of this project:
Decals come from Galdecal:
The color references differs between what is written in the reference book "The colors of the Finnish Air Force" and what Galdecal is using. In this build I trust more the information taken from the reference book than what Galdecals is telling, especially when you know the task force behind the book.
The project itself will not be a straight out of the box build, as there are a number of differencies that needs to be taken into consideration, among others;
- No armament installed, needs some scratch-building
- Mercedes D III engine, need to figure out what the differencies are with a BMW engine, at least the exhaust is different
- The fuselage of the Eduard kit I have is not 100% correct, so some kit bashing is needed.
- And on top of it all, inspired by my Fokker C.X build, this Fokker will be fitted with skis!
The biggest issue is that there are hardly any reference pictures available for the I.D.357 (formally I.C.357)
The measurements for the ski's I will pick from instructions for a 1/72 aftermarket ski kit. And using reference pictures from other builds that I find online. There are a few good ones!
So will be an interesting journey, that's for sure!
Let's see what next!
