Meet the Fokkers!

Huub asked a long time ago if I would do all three versions. Well, gotta change the textures to 277: Naca ring and three bladed prop. (I'm not quite happy with the prop yet, but as always: a second version will be o.k.)
And thanks for all the nice comments guys!

After posting on a Dutch site I got the remark that the prototype D.XIV was red! Edwin Hoogschagen knows much about Fokkers. So......

Superb subtle colour work. More, More!
Maybe a bit darker?
What do you think?

Cees, perhaps a notch, but not at the expense of that subtlety. You've really managed to capture the tones of that aviation period.
Love some skins when you have them ready mate. :salute:

Cees, are you planning to do some 'what if' operational schemes? That would be nice!

Yes, that is what I meant. It would be interesting to have skins for either the Dutch LVA or the then-secret Luftwaffe. The prototype skin looks very nice indeed, although I cannot judge whether the colours are correct.
This was a one of a kind version. Armstrong Siddeley Panther engine of 590 hp, top speed of 330 kilometers per hour, Naca hood, no guns. 277.

Nice to see you're doing special versions Cees!
Yup, but I should have paid more attention to the prop direction! A guy on a Dutch forum pointed that out! I'm thankful for that.

A little update: I redid the prop on the D.XVI The steel Reed prop was turning in the wrong direction. Made the spinner a bit smaller, and changed the angle of the blades. Looks more like the original now.
Made a new propellor for the S.IV as the one I used before was robbed from a Dave Eckert plane! Strugling with the crumple issue here! Obviously the spinner is too detailed. I must learn to deal with that! Redid the landing gear. The angle of the gear was wrong and the legs were too thick. Also added a few wires.
Ad now a Jupiler!

Solved the crumpling issue! Wim got me on track. After that it was a small but very good tutorial by Wozza that did it.

Two identical screenies? No! Watch my head!
