One day I was in a
mall with my girlfriend and of course as usually we had to stop at modeller's
corner. I was looking at all those boxes and decided I'll purchase something but
I couldn't decide what. Then all of a sudden this purple airliner crosses my
sight - helvetica.com painted Fokker 100. It was a bargain kit and I went home
with it. After opening a kit I was first surprised with the decal sheet; a bunch
of stencils and options for 3 different liveries. I had to choose between
Helvetica, Austrian Arrows and KLM. After some brief deciding I chose the Dutch
livery. Simply KLM livery with its blue colour is eye-catching enough and Fokker
just had to be Dutch!
The kit itself was
easy enough to build. That is except the engines. They are the worst mould I
have ever seen in my life. At one point I even wanted to scratch build at least
part of them. However with some determination I managed to make them look good
enough. The model was painted with Revell enamels, paints chosen by the photos.

I wish to dedicate
this model to all the great Dutch people. I have a few friends there and they
showed me how cool this country is.
Gefeliciteerd!
