Okay , Folks ;
I guess i will have to fire up the old scratch building techniques for 1/144 airplanes .I mean like Pipers , Stinsons , Cessnas and other high wing birds .Plus a few low wing older connector aircraft ( Beech , And Cessna and Douglas ) and their more modern counterparts .Oh Boy ! This is going to be hard both on the eyes and the fingers . T.B.
P.S. I'd even be happy with a few Fokkers . No one looking at them would know what they are at eight feet away anyway !
There is a 1:144 kit for one of the Fokker commercial transports- forget whether it is the single or tri-motor version. Several US airlines flew those Fokkers.

Hi Don ;
I think you are referring to the Junkers aircraft .Nice thing besides the corrugated fuselage , is the fact that they seem to have different cockpit canopies . T.B.

No, there were two different Fokker kits, one for the single engine and one for tri-motor. For awhile there was a US Fokker company, with the real Fokker holding controlling interest. There is also a tri-motor of an english version- forget what it was called, by a Fokker licensee in Britain. The Fokker, popular with US airlines, is the one that Knute Rockney was killed in.
Another civil aircraft kit is the Lockheed Vega, three or four kits of that aircraft available. Two of the kits are for the Wiley Post decals, but the plane was used by airlines, so you can build it as an airliner. I built one with homemade decals for the predecessor of TWA. Also, there is a beautiful Boeing 40 kit in resin available.

According to Scalemates, there has been a number of 1/144 scale releases of the F.VII trimotor by AZ Model
There's also a number of kits available in 1/72 by Valom and Zvezda (ex-Frog)
