Fokker T.V Luchtkruiser

Designed before WWII as a heavy bomber-interceptor, secondarily capable of bombing itself - a role no other nation considered.

[ img ]

With its designed role as primarily an interceptor, the Dutch Air Force initially wished to cancel fighter procurement in 1935 to concentrate on the "aircruiser". For offense it was fitted with a single 20mm cannon in the nose, and up to 4 defensive machine guns in the fuselage. Addition of bomb racks was an option and not fitted to all aircraft, so making some purely interceptors. A typical Fokker mixed-construction design; with wooden wings, a duralumin forward fuselage, wooden centre section, and tube and fabric rear. The first aircraft flew in 1937, and the aircraft was already obsolete rolling of the production line. By 1939 Holland had entered an agreement with Germany to purchase Dornier Do215 to replace them in the bomber role.
Sixteen aircraft were built, and saw action with the German invasion. Two German bombers fell to the T.V's, but with not all aircraft fitted with bomb racks little effect was made against ground targets. The T.V's suffered heavy losses, due in part to a lack of self-sealing tanks making them very vulnerable to fire.
After the Dutch surrender at least one aircraft was taken to Germany, and once there may have been completely repainted in RLM green.

So ugly, but also an intriguing concept at the same time. Might as well use it for my whatifs ;)

Glad to see this odd boy drawn, the framing and cannon breech visible are a nice detail

Welcome back after 10-year absence! :)
These Mil's/SM's look 10-year old too, though, as the style has evolved somewhat since then. They have some double black lines and heavy corners, practically completely no shading and window and door outline is bit strange. Also, Gollevainen made a Mi-1 some time ago for one of his AU's, You might like to look at for inspiration.
(it's at the end of this post, need to scroll a bit: viewtopic.php?p=188124#p188124 ).

Nice work!

Actually an old (and bit outdated) version of it is already in the Archive. ;)


And small addition from me. Two early US guided bombs (which are rather for Parts Sheet wiki, therefore not on standard template - could somebody upload them to Wiki, please?) and an early cruise missile of sorts.

oh snap
Also reminds me that I need to post my German guided missiles and bombs I completed in May, but never posted for reasons unknown to me. Perhaps clever laziness?
