Looking for Fokker G.1 photos.

Greetings.
I bought MPM's 1/72 model, which has decals for plane number 314, but i would like to build it with wartime "triangle" markings, so I started my research on it.

Can anyone help me with some photos or history of this particular machine?

This is a good book for information:

Lanasta // Violaero - Fokker - Fokker G-1 Le Faucheur - Jachtkruiser - deel 1

In this book you Will find no information about the 314, you have to wait for part 2. But i thing there are enough people arround who can tell you more about the 314.

314 was stuck on the ground at Waalhaven. I am not sure if there are close-ups of this plane
Will have to check for you

Regards,
Edwin (secretary Fokker G-1 association ;))

Ik dacht dat de 314 in mei 1940 ter reparatie op Schiphol stond en daar is vernield.

Excellent photos. Thanks for the help, Leon44!

FYI - the second Fokker G-1 book is now available!

No, this plane was at Waalhaven airport (Rotterdam) during May 1940. See Volume 2 about the Fokker G-1: Lanasta // Violaero - Fokker - Fokker G-1 Le Faucheur - Jachtkruiser - deel 2.

Thanks for the update, Jan.

Interesting, all the photos and data available to me (including data kindly enclosed at this topic) seem to cover this aircraft after capturing, no info of its operational use...
I have found some more photos of captured 314 at e-bay, here are the links if anyone is interested
(also, there are lots of other Wasp and Mercury Fokker photos at this topic at LEMB forum, but you need to register)

About the Lanasta books, I have thought of purchasing them. Unfortunately, I do not speak Dutch, so this would prevent the joy of reading them...

Hi,

Only the photos and colour profiles gives alrealy enough value and fun for your money! Every photo has text in English.

Regards,

Mathieu.

It's highly recommended as source for references, with English captions, as Mathieu ponted! It is, of course, available through the Fokker G-1 foundation too; www.fokkerg-1.nl
