Product Description
The kit we are introducing today includes injection-molded parts from RS Models and four original decals from LF Models.
The Fokker D.XXIII was a Dutch fighter aircraft that made its first flight in 1939.
With its unique layout featuring two 500-horsepower engines positioned at the front and rear of the fuselage, and a twin-boom design connected to the tail fin, this aircraft is believed to have been designed to take advantage of the air resistance and size benefits of a single-engine aircraft, despite being a twin-engine plane.
To address the pilot escape issues inherent in the pusher-type layout, this aircraft was equipped with an ejection seat.
During test flights, the aircraft recorded a top speed exceeding 500 km/h, but problems were identified with the cooling system of the rear engine and the mechanism for changing the propeller pitch.
Only one prototype of this aircraft was built, but it was destroyed during the German invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, and development was halted when the Netherlands surrendered.
