Title: Danish air force 1940
Post by: Jirpilot1 on January 30, 2013, 12:14:47 PM

Please, could somebody make these skins for the Royal Danish Air Force in 1940?

I need only skins for Hawker Nimrod (Fury in the game) and for Gloster Gauntlet (S-231 in the game).
Thank you very much!

Don't you think that the Gladiator would be a better fake for the Gauntlet than the S-321 ?

Thank you agracier! Great Dewoitine 372, I'm going to use this skin.

I think, that S-231 is much better, because Gladiator has got a canopy and because it looks much similiar as the Gauntlet than Gladiator.

Hmmm ... looking in my skins folders I found these Danish Gladiators ... but personally I think that other planes by DreamK would make for good Danish aircraft as well ... the various Hawker Osprey's, the Fokker CX, and the Letov S-321 ...

I've always liked the obscure character of Danish aircraft ... but then again how to use them? I've usually thought the most adventurous manner is to posit Danish entry on the side of Finland during the Winter War ...

Gladiator ?? certainly not !  S231 is a better option .

My words, the S-231 is really the best choice.

Hello Jirpilot1, here is a start for the Hawker Nimrod you asked me for used by Denmark. ;)

I thought I actually had a publication for the Fury/Nimrod but I haven't, it was for the Hart family, so I'm struggling
to find details of the full camouflage pattern used by the Danish machines at the outbreak of WWII.

If anyone has full details of the scheme from a decal sheet or book could you please upload an image.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Well I found a few images in a PDF of the Danish Navy which allowed me to give the disruptive scheme a go. :)

Just a few mapping issues though, wtf. ???

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Well I've now managed to resolve the major mapping issues, just need a few more codes and we're good to go. ;)

Hello all, below is the link to the skins for the Hawker Nimrod I made for Jirpilot1's request:

https://www.mediafire.com/?m5a105e3g6r9n7w

There are four camouflaged coded versions, 171, 174 175 and 179, also a insignia only skin.

There were twelve aircraft used in total coded 170-181, three were lost in crashes prior to the start of WWII, 172, 176 and 178.  These were all naval aircraft.

There are some mapping errors I couldn't overcome, thankfully they aren't too bad.

They were made for a campaign Jirpilot1 is making but he was happy to have the link here in the thread for anyone who may also be interested in them.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Hello everyone,

Would it be possible to have a valid link for the bulldog II with Danish markings please?

Greetings,
