Dutch Skins
« on: August 17, 2009, 09:19:15 PM »
Ok, so I'm Dutch, and love the idea of Dutch markings on planes.  For those of you who know nothing about WW2, the Dutch played an important role,a nd operated allied planes like the Spitfire, Hurricane, and Brewter Buffalo, so here is a website with a LOAD of skins for Dutch WW2 planes.  All of you skin-making geniouses out there, I have a task for you.

The super-uber-latewarmonster "Brewster" we have in-game would in no way resemble the slow, heavy, ungainly (*cough*realistic*cough*) B339E that the Dutch probably used, so I don't know if it's really honest to skin that as Dutch.

The only other plane close to something we have in AH would be the Hurr IIB, but of course the problem is you'd have to do that on the Hurr IA plane instead. That itself isn't too much of a problem, but on top of that there are "no photos" of those planes, and it might take a lot of research to get any particular skin accurate, if you wanted to skin one.

Are there other planes, perhaps not on that list, that might've had Dutch markings?

If only AH had the Hawk75, lol! That'd be a great Dutch skin. If I recall, they used a large number of them, right?

Oh yes I have quite a few photos of them. Most of the Dutch aircraft were used in composite squadrons in the Pacific with Australian & American forces. A Dutch skin is long over due of any type as we have none that I am aware of.

I do understand where you are coming from on this issue & technically you have a point based off some of your other posts I have read.

But what can you do? there is no other variants on the horizon & in this case I guess near enough is going to have to be good enough.
How ever from what I have read the Dutch aircraft were some what differant again to all the other units operating them such as the RAF,RAAF,RNZAF, and the American units.

Not having all the facts of what model the Dutch used in front of me at present it is possible that they may be more closely aligned with the Fin's aircraft? and if so may be a little more eligible from your perspective?

I doubt (highly) that even AH's "Brewster" aligns with what the Finns had.

Aside from that, no the other Buffalos got heavier and heavier. Even the F2A3. So if the Dutch used a later model (like a 339D or 339E) it'd be like comparing a P-40B to a A6M5.
