I think thats the look they are going for. But the tail is definately NAA style. And the canopy rails are wrong, and the tail cone is smooth while the XXI is apparently fabric covered?

Nice replica/simulation though.

Not the real thing, IMHO.

If you look at the distance between the forward edge of the cockpit and the end of the cowling -even accounting for photo angle - you will see that the distance is longer in the "real" thing versus the very nice attempt presented here.

The shape of the vertical control surfaces is different, and the replica looks stubbier than the original Fokker.

Even then, it is a nice looking airplane!

Saludos,


Tulio

Press "1" for English.

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

Wasn't this originally converted into a "Typhoon" for the film "A Bridge Too Far"??
DXXI cinversion was post a BTF.

This would appear to be a NA-64 or NA-50 using a T-6 to build a replica. A few of those planes were built for export, and this is probably supposed to represent one. That is definitely a stock looking T-6 tail.

Nice shot of the "D.XXI"...Memory is fuzzy, but I think this and possibly one other got modified from (ex-RNethAF??) Harvard a/c for use in a film. Think the Fokker G.I static replica now in a museum in the Netherlands may have been built at the same time.

There must be few WWII-era single-engined aircraft that have NOT been represented by a Texan/Harvard in some stage or other of modification at some point! That I've seen or heard of, there've been A6Ms, B5Ns (with help from some BT-13 empennages), Tiffies, P-47s, F6Fs, D.XXIs, and "generic Luftwaffe aircraft" in The Great Escape (background for the Bu181 Bestmann stolen by one of the escapees!)...Any others??
