BALSA USA 1/6 FOKKER D-VIII KIT 54WS 30/40 2C 

When the New Fokker D-VIII hit the front lines in late October of 1918, Reinhold Platz's remarkable design work was vindicated. The aircraft easily out performed and out ran allied aircraft with twice the D-8's horsepower.  Allied pilots quickly recognised how dangerous the new fighter was and dubbed it "The Flying Razor", as its monoplance configuration made it difficult to see, especially when coming at you!
