Wow, that looks great!

[PR19_Kit]

BIG props there! 

[Tophe]

Wonderful!
And now this looks completely like the Marton X/V from Hungary, see Slava Trudu's http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,24457.0

Very similar, but there are subtle dfferences in shape. Also, fin/rudder and front wheel doors are completely different.
A very aggressive beast, beautiful.

Thanks for having pointed out these détails! Like expert comparison in a trial Fokker vs. Marton Copyright infringement.

That looks very good! In 1943 that should've been quite a pain in the rear end of the allied air comand..

Edit: I first saw the pics in my phone and for some reason, i thought it was german...

[NARSES2]

I like that

And it was proposed to use Rolls-Royce or Daimler-Benz engines in the production D.XXIII.  True.

Way cool! 

Second that!

It would have been a thorn in the side of the Soviet Union, not the Allies, as Finland only fought against the USSR.

Reasonable error - it looks German with the inverted-V engines & that paint scheme.


BTW, really nice looking beast you've built there, Tom!

I really like the fact that the rear engine appears to have a canon firing through the spinner. and it looks like rounds will pass under the tailplane. That would certainly spoil the day of any following opponent.
