Very well done Daan.

Spot on, Huub!
Working on the shaping ribs of the rear fuselage section.

Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

Correct Huub! He sat on a jumpseat right behind the radio-operator.
Rear fuse (tailgunner) to front. Jumpseat should be just below the curtain.
Oh, can't help teasing
Not (yet) for a simulation model this time, though. Maybe in a later stadium, I'll tell some more. For now, just wanted to show this since I'm proud at the model!
Compared with the T.V the G.1 must be quite easy. I'm amazed to see how much information you were able to gather for this not very well known medium bomber. Compared with the T.V there is much more (accurate) information available for the G.1.
Years ago I didn't expect to see a Fokker D.XXI in FSX, but now I have a complete squadron. The T.V is even more rare, so the fact I will be able to explore one in the (near) future is a miracle. I hope you will keep surprising me with a finished model of the G.1, because so far, most G.1 projects ended unfinished......

Well, now that's a surprise! Looking good Daan!

Season greetings
We'll see guys, we'll see...
I remember Huub, talking with you in CRASH back in 2014 while looking at a T.5 scale model, how you suggested to do this bird
In the meanwhile:
From me, Christmas blessings and best wishes for 2019!

In the past few weeks, I've added the walking ramp in the rear fuselage.
And I started detailing the tail turret

Thank you Huub!
I can't help having respect for those guys: just all wood and fabric around you, while defending yourself against a flock of fire-spitting Messerschmitts...

Well, I was able to model the gun yoke thanks to someone with the CAD drawings...

Yes Huub, it's the real life, I guess. I was on holiday to Israel for a few weeks, were quite busy at difficult projects at work, and so on...
Well, in the meanwhile I got underway with my T.5. I feel like I'm pretty much up-to-date with the progress (altough it's entering the sixth year of development now...).
I modelled the radio-operator's gunner position. It also served as an entrance and escape (fuselage door). The lower hatch was hinged upwards for sticking out a gun.
Cheers!

Hi guys,
I feel a little proud and grateful. I've just finished, say, 98% of the modelling work on the interior. Of the leftover parts, 1% won't ever be modelled (that's the freedom I grant myself) and 1% will most likely be encountered during the upcoming processes.
So, for the moment, the model is 'finished'.
Well, the last things have been done on the interior of the fuselage rear section. I added machine gun posts, ammo drums, some other small stuff and, most interestingly, a 'message gutter'. Apparently, one envisioned the marconist to communicate with the tailgunner using a kind of tube post. I do not have any reference of this in the original manual, nor on photographs (only 11 of the fuselage back interior, most of them in wrecked state). The only reason for me to add this feature, is that I found a drawing in the National Archives of this gutter, complete with suspension and mounting instructions. The gutter ran from just behind the marconist's curtain to the tailgunner.
So, a view to the back, from the marconist's position
View forward, from the tailgunner
Guys, thanks for your attention!
Cheers, Daan
