Fokker’s design study of 1950 for a 32-seat transport to be powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines was known as the P.275 project. Following further research of the market it was enlarged slightly and modified to incorporate a circular-section pressurised fuselage and by 1952 the Dutch government came to the party to assist with development.

The type was called the F27 Friendship, and this the first of two prototypes made its maiden flight on 24 November 1955, powered by two Dart 507 turboprops. Of high-wing monoplane configuration, the F27 has a pressurised fuselage, retractable tricycle landing gear and accommodation for 28 passengers. The slightly different second prototype had Dart Mk 511 engines and its fuselage lengthened by 0.91m to seat 32 passengers, it was flown on 31 January 1957.

This model aircraft is made from die-cast metal and includes extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Inflight200, JC Wings, NG Models and Aviation200.

Display stand included.
