Fokker Biplane II by IV

Project by toyguy posted 690 days ago 1856 views 0 times favorited 28 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Model / Toy of the WW1 Fokker D VII Bi-plane.

This project has been constructed entirely of one construction grade 2×4 from Home Depot, in preparation for the Lumber Jock’s multi-purposed 2×4. winter awards 2008.

The engine and exhaust have been painted black and the German crosses were printed on water transfer decal paper using my ink jet printer. The plane is finished with spray lacquer.
Project was built with the aid of the Toys and Joys plan-86.


Top Wing Span 24 “ Chord 4.25”
Bottom Wing Span 20” Chord 3.25”
Fuselage Length 21” Width 2.125”

Roger Tower, I have the Fokker in-sight!

What a great project. I like the fact you even tell the chord on the wings. Nice attention to detail!
