Dutch Brewster
« on: August 21, 2009, 04:19:57 AM »
This is the Brewster of Lt. August Deibel of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force. Deibel scored 3 kills but was shot down twice while fighting the Japanese over Singapore and Java during early 1942. He survived the war but was killed flying a Gloster Meteor in 1950. There is a biography of him here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Deibel

The Dutch Brewsters were painted in US olive drab and medium green with aluminium undersides. The interior was painted green so I've redone the interior texture to allow for this.

Thanks guys, glad you like the skin.

I've had confirmation on 7 out of the 8 skins I submitted in April and May, a B-24, an La-5, a Spit 9 and four Il-2s. Not sure why one of the Il-2s was missed out.

I have submitted 15 more skins since then, five Brewsters, two I-16s, two Typhoons, two Spits, two P-47s, a Ju 88 and an F4F. No emails about any of these so far, I guess they are going through the backlog of skins in batches, a couple of months worth at a time. I'll submit this one Sunday unless I find something I need to redo on it.
