Description
This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.
This kit from Mirko Mir is a new mold! The G-IA is a twin-engine heavy catamaran fighter developed by Fokker of the Netherlands just before the war, and the prototype G-I equipped with the Hispano-Suiza engine flew for the first time in 1937. It was heavily armed with eight of the 7.92mm machine gun in front of the fuselage, and one more swivel-mounted 7.92mm machine gun in the rear; the rear part of the fuselage was fully glazed to ensure a wide view, as it was designed for reconnaissance and bombing missions. At the time of the German invasion in 1940, 23 units were deployed, but most of them were destroyed on the ground, and the remaining aircraft fought desperately to the end, shooting down 14 German aircraft. The aircraft that remained on the production line at the Fokker factory after the German occupation of the Netherlands were used as combat trainers.
This kit includes painting mask stickers, photo-etched parts, multiple types of decals, and a three-dimensional waterslide decal for the instrument panel and seat belts. The central cabin is molded in clear plastic as well. Order yours today!

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
Cement Required

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.
A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT
Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
