WnW Fokker E.1 (Early)

[Ernie]

I'm happy to hear of your next project, Pete, and am looking forward
to following your build.  With your talents, it should be very informative.
Onward and upward!

Cheers,
Ernie

No, it's not. I'm not absolutely sure though, so I'll have to check. The U.1 is a 9 cylinder version of the U.0, which is a 7 cylinder. The rest is thesame, so perhaps the cowl does fit. The E.IV cowl is definitly different, as the U.III has two rows of cylinders.

Ivo

hmm.I guess that the E.I cooling had a diferent and smaller diameter then the E.II/III  that had the same Oberursel 100hp engine. The E.I cooling was attached to the frame in 3 points and the E.II/E.III was attached in four points.

If you note in some pics from the E.I to the E.II/III this last will have a more rounded upper metal cooling (the one just in front of the pilot) to match the bigger diameter of the engine cooling, but well let's wait and see hum?   Source: Fokker Eindecker   Compendium 2

Hi guys;

I think I can only wait and see what happens during the build, my only small niggle is that the manufacturers of these stunning after market add ons don't take in to account the fit of the models they are intended for, gripe over.

Cheers

Pete.

Just a couple of pics, still waiting for the kit and engine to arrive.

This is the beastie I'm hoping to do.



And the engine.



Cheers

Pete.

Nice choice Pete!

[Nigel Jackson]

I agree Bo. I've been toying with getting one of the WnW Fokker scourge quartet  - and this would be the one I'd go for. So this will be a very interesting construction log for me to watch, Pete. Good luck with it.

Best wishes
Nigel

[Pete Nottingham]

I'll try my best.

Cheers

Hello Pete:

The pressure is on now.  All eyes are upon you as you work your skills!  I have a couple of the Taurus engines and I almost went apoplectic upon viewing them!!! Yikes!  Good luck Pete.

Best Wishes for your Christmas and New Year!
