JohnMacG Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 The Dutch East Indies Army (KNIL) used some (Puma-engine) D.VII s for some years in the 20s - anyone know of any decals (1/72) for these a/C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Tough one, I'd suggest looking for DutchDecal 72071 to see if that works for you. https://www.navalmodels.com/product/luchtvaartafdeling-early-dutch-insignia-and-serials/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Blue Rider has a set of postwar Fokker DVII... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/blue-rider-br525-international-fokker-dvii--1109398 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/BR212 Not shilling for Hannants, but this is where my search for you led me... The Scalemates link shows the 1/48th scale set. I have them in 1/72nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48-Alone-Is-Great Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) All the decals above are for Dutch Fokker D VIIs in the Netherlands. So far no decals for the ones in the NEI (Netherlands' East Indies). Here the info to make them yourself: Edited July 9, 2020 by 48-Alone-Is-Great 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmaas Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Be careful with the orientation of the national insignia, The color illustration of F-302 has the red at the bottom of the roundel, but the photo of F-301 show it is upper forward on the fuselage, and upper left on both wing roundels. The earlier aircraft (F-30) has an earlier rendition of the roundel orientation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48-Alone-Is-Great Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Yes, actually all of these D VIIs have it wrong. Officially white should point down on the fuselage and back on the wings. But during the 20s you'd see all possible versions in the NEI, with red or blue pointing down, or - like here - down on fuselage but forward on wings, and even red-blue-white on some early DH-9s. So the best way is to use a photo. I'd say the top 301 and colour profile is how the unit carried it most of the 20s (red forward on wings) and the bottom 301 is how it looked like in the very early days.
