Title: Dansk Fokker
Post by: No.1 on November 02, 2008, 09:41:36 PM

Here we are- first promotion of my new signature on profile. For this occasion I choose this Dutch fighter but in Dansk colors.

Very nice profile but:
-where is the underwing 20mm Madsen cannon?
-Engine cowling had cilinder bulgings for the rockerbox covers
-Only Dutch D-XXI's had telescope gunsight. Danish machines had simple ring + bead sight
-ALU scheme J-41 pattern plane even had no gunsight + armament at all (and a two-bladed prop!)
-But...pattern plane J-42 had all and a 3-bladed prop but WITHOUT the balancing weights for the pitch change mechanism

And I forgot to mention the Danish planes missed the radio mast of the Dutch D-XXI.
Instead they had a loop antenna on top of the vertical tail in a small streamlined holder.

Here is the image and you are right on some points. I can not see Madsen large underwing pod as well engine cowling is clear.

Corrected as the Nico demand and hope it is all right now  :-think

Looks perfect!
Please, note that part of wheel spat was removed when the plane was used on muddy fields.
You gave this correctly in your profile drawing, but this was definitely not standard on all Danish D-XXI's.
And now? Will next profile be Danish D-XXI in alu scheme with underwing cannons?

After some break I continue work. I will make both samples shown on Nico images above. To regret I have no drawings for cannon housing o this is the approximation.

Please, note:
-these pattern planes (J-41 and J-42) had the small bulgings on the engine cowling (see photos).
-Registration is in large lettering on the fuselage and not on the vertical fin in small lettering.
-Both aircraft have Fokker logo on tail.

I know for this but problem is size and shape of the Madsen housing under the wing.

Photo of J-42 gives excellent detail of the gun protuding from the gunpack and the opening for the spent cartridges. Note the small streamlined fairing in front of this opening!

Here you are J-42 :)

What about gun barrel and gun sight as shown in the photo?
Assume they will be included in next version...

Post by: No.1 on November 30, 2008, 09:05:20 AM

But I did he Madsen.... maybe not good size and position?

Title: Re: Dansk Fokker
Post by: Nico Braas on November 30, 2008, 10:22:18 AM

Yes, I see it now (was difficult to see and maybe it must be a little bit thicker!).
Now we only need the gunsight.
