Description:

Fokker E.IV Eindecker (1:1 Scale)

The Fokker E.IV was the final variant of the Eindecker fighter aircraft that was operated by Germany during World War I.

E.IV was essentially a lengthened Fokker E.III powered by the 119 kW (160 hp) Oberursel U.III two-row, 14-cylinder rotary engine, a copy of the Gnome Double Lambda. The more powerful engine was intended to enable the Eindecker to carry two or three 7.92 mm (.312 in) machine guns, thereby increasing its firepower and providing redundancy if one gun jammed – a common occurrence at the time.

This is pretty much same as Fokker E.III but slightly larger and has more powerful engine.
