Interesting model and colours. Why is this the New Flanders Air Force? Was there a Flanders Air Force before?

New Flanders is my What If nation   (the "New" is as not to make confusion with the Dutch Speaking Part of Belgium (Flanders))

just like how New Zealand is with the Dutch province of Zeeland.

I think he meant Ned Flander's Air Force.



Looks great in that scheme Nils. I really like the colour combo and the fin markings are excellent. I really need to try making my own decals. Would sure make my modelling life easier !

Very clever use of an English title on the starboard side and a Flemish one on the port side. 

That's presumably so New Flanders' NATO partners aircrews don't run into trouble working out who's aircraft it is.
