Soviet Fokker C.I (Efremodel 1/72)

I've just completed this 1/72 Soviet 1922 Fokker C.I designed by Yuri Efremov.
The fuselage decoration got my eye, so I contacted the designer, who lives in the remote Magadan (where most of Stalin gulags were located, but notwithstanding finds the necessary inspiration for designing) and asked him for a copy. Here it is:

Amazing job there young fella. I assume the thing between the wheels is a fuel tank?

Not a Fokker expert. Did the D.VII have fuel in the spreader bar?

Neither myself, just seen this type of reservoir in the Dutch and Soviet Fokker C.Is.

No.DVII had that tank in front of a pilot just like in other airplanes of that era.C1 had pilot position moved forward to make more room for gunner/observer.To keep center of gravity where it was lenght of the fuselage still had to be increased.



I'm not an expert either but google-fu is strong with me

Nicely made model AgaPablo- looks convincingly like a well used 'in service' type.

And read with interest the following discussion on this thread about the C.1.

Ya gotta love this forum!
