1/72 Unknown Fokker FH-227 'Stretch' Friendship (F27 / F-27) - Factory Display Model - Bagged
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: No Box
Recently I purchased a collection that contained an unusual number of undecorated (and even unassembled) factory desk top models. This 1/72 FH-227 was among them. It has had the factory airbrushed de-icing boots and nose radome painted, and that is all - it is ready for decals (not included). Includes clear 'spinning prop' disks and metal spinners but no stand. The body has not been drilled for a stand. The manufacture is unknown. Fokker's highly successful F27 was built in the USA as the Fairchild F-27. Differences between the F27 and F-27 were small, but 2 years before Fokker introduced the larger F27 Mk500, Fairchild made the FH-227. The FH-227 featured a 6 foot fuselage length increase, which raised seating to 56 and enlarged the cargo bay between the cockpit and passenger cabin. Only 78 FH-227s were built; Mohawk airlines was one of the customers.
