Good hauls guys.
First i ever heard of it was about 1972 in a game called 'luftwaffe', they were being used by the german school units in the game!
The D 520 was a great plane when it was introduced, on par with the early spitfires and 109Es, but since France fell it was not developed any further.

Cheers mate! Still using my mobile, but better than nothing!
Think that I'll change everything to Sky, get it all on one bill, phone, net and pic box....

Best of luck sorting things out Jan!
It looks pretty good, I intend to make it after the Kitech MS 406 (it appears to be the hobbycraft kit) and i hope to get in a build for the new group build also.

Ta much Wayne! Appreciated!
This afternoon I've been to a local IPMS meeting/swap meet and got my hands on these two kits for a few euro's.
To go with the DC-3 (since the kit decals looked, although printed by cartograph, pretty shabby as I appears to be a quite old boxing of this kit)
Great fun with some 30 modellers on the go and quite a few people who came to check it out.

Good stuff Jelmer, and not a bad kit that Dakota - see my last 'Dan Air' DC-3 build.
The F-27 looks interesting, always remember the camouflaged ones doing some spectacular low fly pasts, with smoke, in the '80s - threw them around like fighters !

Jelmer, didn't you say you were going to stop buying kits for a while?

I haven't bought a kit since the end of April. I think I might be experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

Actually yeah, but this purchase was rather break-even if you will, 'cause I got rid of a few kits frm my own stash as well
(talking about cheating yourself 
)I actually like the F-27 too Terry, bit of a workhorse there. (Pity not too many good modern kits exist of it)

Jelmer, if you can find some info/pics of the Airborne Forces F 27s used by the Netherlands in the 80s, in camouflage, I might do the Airfix 1/72nd scale kit. Unfortunately, all the great shots of them I had were lost, along with the other 1,000+ slides I had, in a fire 20 years ago.
I'll keep an eye on it Terry! The Flevo Decals sheet comes with a pretty sizable booklet and registration codes for no less then eight Friendships/Troopships including multiple grey/green camouflaged kites and a light grey over dark grey camouflaged one (later scheme) Good color call-outs on the various schemes as well. Perhaps a scan of the booklet migt be helpful.
Also, the link below might be helpful. It leads to a topic on Milspotters.nl containing pic of various Fokkers (mostly) in Dutch service or otherwise spotted on Dutch AFB. Quite a few F-27's right there.
MilSpotters.nl • Toon onderwerp - Fokker in KLu dienst
There's a few other Dutch websites as well with detailed information on Registrations, colors, etc. but perhaps a bit difficult to understand since they're in Dutch, although I'd be happy to help you out with translating some of the info into something usable for you to build a model.
(For the color scheme only, as this is an F60 I believe)

Well here is what I'm going to try next Even tho it's a weekend thing I doubt I'll get it done in a weekend. And like the Airfix kit this will be my first Eduard kit.
And with getting the paint as well it still ran me 60$ so it will probably be my last one for a bit too unless I go back to 1/72 scale.
