You all know what this means.....

Cees, I'll keep that in mind. There are several Japanese and US Navy types from WWII and earlier that I'd like to create someday. Three-view and cross-section plans of some of these obscure types are hard to find.
 
Thanks Huub! I can use some help with the texturing in the future. I hoped you could do the texturing on this one. I'll come back to you when I'm done with the model. And I can use some help with the flight model! Is there a FM guru who's willing to do this?

:salute:

Of course Cees. Although there where only about 20 Fokker D-XVIs made, there are several liveries possible. The olive-natural metal 275, the all olive version, the olive version with neutrality markings and an all silver Italian one (I found a very poor picture of this version).

Cheers,
Huub
 
Looks good Cees! Will you do "just" this version or will you also make a model with the early diagonal strut like the 275 had?

Huub,

The drawing I'm working from has the early strut and the early landing gear. I chose to do the later version first, but I will certainly do the early version too. Perhaps the three bladed version with a different motor is a nice alternative too? Are you ready for a first beta?

looking good Cees, gotta love these early types, i use FSDS myself but only for scenery... never graduated to aircraft... mainly because of fsds adding odd shadows when you smooth something out *puzzled look*
 
Wim also joined the troops! Got some good advice and examples from him too! Man, what a great site this is with great always helpful members!
If anyone has any material on the Fokker D.16: drawings, photographs, anything, please share it here with us / me??
:wavey:

That's one of the finest first attempts I've seen at aircraft modelling. Your doing a far sight better/faster than I did, well done Cees. Can't wait to take her for a spin.
 
Cees, do you have Adriaan Viruly’s book ‘Voor vrij… contact?’ It contains a chapter, a photo and a diagram of the D.XVI. I have it somewhere and can send you a scan. It does not provide much information, but it may help.

Yes please! Perhaps Huub has scanned that one already! But anything is welcome, more than welcome!
