So unusual a silhouette, and a very nice model, congratulations!

I've been after one of these for aaages. I've had a couple of bashes at building a simulator version in x-plane. Following the link though, this model is sold out.

A really interesting configuration and an insight into what aircraft designers were doing to try to integrate this radically new propulsion system.

Greetings,

Thank you for your interest in our Fokker F.26! We are preparing to do another run in the future, most likely early in 2021. Please be patient! We do these in batches and have to have at least 10 orders to break even, when more, any profit goes back into production to help us expand.

Cheers!

Zane

I can imagine that in Dutch AF colours.

It looks like a DC-3 with a pair of jet engines and wings from a F-101.

This is such a cool plane. I started - but never finished - a 1/400 version. I should convert it to a 3D object that can be printed in (almost) any scale.

Nice!  Hope the Captain had a big trim wheel for power changes!

Love it

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support! The engine layout of side-by-side was first utilized by the USA for the Bell P-59 Airacomet in 1942, although a bit differently by being within the fuselage whereas the F.26 has them underneath.
