I love the Frisian one, Owen. Though the flag is nice, the Frisians will never use a flag whitout using there own colors and shapes = Frisians are pround people. Perhaps you can chage ''Nieuw Friesland'' into ''Nij Fryslân''

A Bit of an Update, missed an important panel line on the fuselage so had to go back and correct it. Also, two new variants.








FA versions coming soon.

EDIT: Actually it refers a bit to previous version too. Note, that the original P1121 had an exhaust of fixed diameter, and Yours is different.

Thanks for the tip with the tail boom (RWR, I presume it is) I'll work on fixing that soon as I get time. Regards the fixed diameter, it should be exactly the same as the original, since all I did was add some detail, and alter the nozzles a tad. I didn't actually change the anything else.

@ Alvama: I wasn't meaning that the area was settled by Frisians, so much as named for that part of the Netherlands, since by this point, some of the other possible names would have already been taken. My inspiration was Nieuw Friesland from the David Drake novels! Note with the flag, that's not it exactly, rather the closest I could come at this tiny scale showing text. The exact arrangement with the letters is more the historical one, but there is no way I could depict that where the viewer would still be able to read them. I'd like to inquire if the exact lettering should be VOC, or AOC? When I looked up the flags, I saw both versions, Either representing Dutch East Indies Company, or United East Indies Company, or even United Dutch East Indies Company flags.

@ Nighthunter: I love the two seater-attack version, though I see no reason, if designed that way from the start, why your M-61 couldn't be carried internally.

That's not a cannon, Van

Its the IR seeker of the early F-4s especially the B version I believe
yes?

[nighthunter]

Nope, it is the APR-38 of the Wild Weasel, styled after the F-4G. With the AGM-78 Standard ARM.

Oh
should have realized that one

About the diameter - While the diameter of the fuselage is the same, original exhaust was not regulated (or more precisely - it was regulated inside) and Yours is (depending on the thrust it's wider or more narrow in the end), and that's what I meant.

Original was similar to this:

Ah Okay Owen! Yes I notiched the Republican VOC vlag. Verenigde Oost-Indische Compangnie. What means United East-Indian Company, whish should be used as Dutch East Indian Company, to make proper sence. VOC is correct.

On the vlag it's likely = oVc, whit a small ''A'' above it - what present Amsterdam

A= Amsterdam
C= Kaap de Goede hoop (Capetown)
H= Holland (Hollandia) or (!) Hoorn
R=Rotterdam (Mazé)
D=Delft
M=Middelburg
E=Enkhuizen

Enkhuizen is Frysk, anyway!

Beautiful aircraft, Nighthunter. I look forward to hearing more about your AU.

I've come up with a livery for a fleet of CL-415's owned by the EU, rather than individual member states, in order to reduce costs and improve basing of aircraft and surge responses in extreme cases of forest fires.

All are registered in Italy, but are based across the Mediterranean and available to Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia (when a full EU member), Greece and Cyprus. I'm not sure on numbers, but I would expect maybe around 30 aircraft.
