christian Boehm Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hello Disappointed by the news about the Fokker G1 ( see : I stopped it; as I was on painting stage I started to paint the previous kit built, a MPM 72 Fokker D.XXI from 1st java in 1940 Can somebody tell me if the “three mices & pointed clog” nose art (which was painted on some planes) was applied on both fuselage sides? Thanks Christian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 As far as I know, it's either the 'Schoen met punten' (the clog) or the mice. The mice would have been on a/c temporarily deployed pre-war on Eelde : 214,228,232,240 & 242 Interesting discussion & pictures here: https://www.nederlandseluchtvaart.nl/forums/showthread.php?5902-Witte-muizen-sinds-wanneer and https://www.nederlandseluchtvaart.nl/forums/showthread.php?27316-Metalen-schaalmodellen-Fokker-tweede-WO/page2&highlight=muizen Which also has a somewhat different 'Beige' camo depicted on a T.V model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian Boehm Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Hello alt 92 Thanks But I have proofs about both signs were applied (at least on some aircrafts , including the "214") ; many reports and modelling articles show the "221" bearing the same , but I found no proof ; see: 1) 2 painting scenes which are, as well , on your 1st link discussion but not together: this page (112) is issued from the excellent french book Fokker D21 Ed Lela Press by Peter de Jong ( I am sure you have it). It's in french but all picture comments are in english as well 2 ) the second one is not common (I found it nowhere else ) see : the plane 214 WITH both signs: That is obvious , not ? about the second link and the "yellowish" tone of the light cam color , much ink poured ; and the Sösterberg restaured planes carry this type of color but I based myself on many analyses of dutch files and IPMS Sweden color studies and samples (with FS or close FS codes) and I painted it with Hataka colors ( theses ones are often considered as believable) As some modellers say, it looks like a very light RLM02 What is certain is that on BW photos , it looks very, very pale , almost white have a good WE christian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christian Boehm Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thanks Houston I know the restaured Fokker D.XXI at Sösterberg and yes , the restaurers p You can even have a walk around at : http://aircraftwalkaround.hobbyvista.com/fokkerxxi/fokkerxxi.htm It bears the "221" and 221 "is known" has having the nose art , but I'd like to find a picture of 1940 as a proof For the "214" the photo upside is a proof.... As well, as I know, no any right fuselage side war picture exists , as a proof Otherwise , and although I have much respect and even admiration for the museum managers and workers, the beige yellowish color of both Sösterberg's D.XXI and G.1 planes is a big subject of discussion Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 and this may be correct. Some aeroplanes had art work on one side, the same art work on both sides, the same but 'handed' art work on both sides or a totally different art work on each side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian Boehm Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 I agree Black Knight and, again, a case were there are 99 % chances that nobody would ever tell you your model is wrong !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
