Thanks for that glowing commendation Naixoterk!
I had thought about doing brown on khaki, like Naixoterk's Italian schemes, but it looked too identical and I wanted something different. The idea is to have some kind of locally-inspired camo based off Cheetahs or something. I've often wondered about trying a Tiger stripe scheme and might play around with that next.

The Koolhoven F.K.60

An improved version of the F.K.58, designed for Kongo and powered by a licence-built 1,615hp Bristol Hercules radial engine. Provision for two 200 litre drop tanks was added to extend range and improved blind-flying instruments were fitted along with a more rugged undercarriage. A prototype flew during 1941 and production began in 1943. Also used by another Dutch colony, the Kingdom of Ubangi-Shari.
Max speed of 370mph, 37,200ft ceiling, 2x23mm and 4x13.2mm cannon and 200kg of bombs or drop tanks.

I've played around with a Tiger stripe camo and I think its worked out well.

Koolhoven F.K.61

In Wesworld, the Dutch Air Force has studied the lessons of the South American War of 1935 very closely and saw the need for a fast bomber. Koolhoven won a contract to produce a bomber modelled on the concept of the de Havilland Mosquito. The first bombers arrived in service in early 1945. The bomber has a crew of three in a pressurised cockpit and is powered by licence-built Napier Sabre engines.

Gross weight: 15264 kg (33,650 lb)
Max take-off weight: 17250 kg (38,030 lb)
Powerplant: 2x 2,340hp Napier/Minerva Sabre V 24-cylinder liquid-cooled engines
Maximum speed: 650 km/h (404 mph) at 7620 m (25,000 ft)
Service ceiling: 8839 m (29,000 ft)
Range: 2335 km (1,450 miles) internal fuel with 2725 kg (6,000 lb) load

Very nice!
Though personally I'd rather have contour between wing and engine as well as horizontal stabilizer and fuselage made in black instead (on some other of Your drawings too). ;)

Awesome! Do you think that a centaur powered version could've worked?

I'd kind of moved away from black wing joins to dark grey, these probably are slightly too light.

That's a neat idea Trojan, I might have to kitbash the DH.102 version and see how it looks. I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Maybe a bit off topic, but where is the original thread containing the Wesworld United Kingdom of the Netherlands AU? I can't find it anywhere :roll:
