Yes, it's the old Airfix kit from the sixties. I purchased it through Ebay for 2 dollars.

The Dutch Fokker G-1 Reaper, heavy fighter. If we only would have had more of them back in May 1940....

Thank you! The weathering seems to be too white due to the flash light. When weather permits i will make some outdoor pics.

Cheers,

jan
