It’s great to see that the remains of Fokker are doing some good Business. 🙂
Keep up the rewarding work!

Are you sure the wings are fake? I had a good look and they are very detailed. The engines are fake, but as I said, not sure about (maybe at least parts of) the wings.

Fokker was killed of by a minister called Hans W. like all Dutch politicians a short sighted, currupt and opertunistic pos

The FOKKER 100 did not cause FOKKER to fail but a low $ did.When it went Bankrupt it had over 80 on order
Also the wings are dummys.

Doesn’t look very modern to me, looks like a tired re-hash of a 1960’s design that caused a once great manufacturer to fail.

What’s a modern Aircraft doing on a Historic Aviation site
