Fokker Super Universal

Just curious if anyone has done one of these beauties for our Esteemed Sim? If not looks right up Jens Kristensen's alley...:d
Kind of a more pug-nosed version of the F.VIIa; gives it a more rough-and-ready bushplane feel (IIRC they used these to great effect in the Canadian Bush). I'm also thinking a regular Universal would be pretty cool as well.
 
Oh you know that hurts Lionheart...I've been looking all over. :banghead:
However you've given me a glimmer of hope so I shall redouble my efforts.
BTW, love your F.II. Absolutely gorgeous.:ernae:
PS-If you mean the 'Ansett Fokker Universal VH-UTO' in avsim.com (under jbk_fokker_fviia.zip) that is actually an F.VIIa painted to look like a Universal.
 
Hey Doc, if you do find it, let us know. I've been having a blast flying them ( by Jens B.) Fokkers...:ernae:
 
Well, so far after a couple hours scouring the net I found absolutely nothing. All I could find is that at some point it was made under license by Nakajima in Japan as the Ki-6 or C2N in the early 30s. I tried looking for it under that name and designations as well but came up empty handed.:banghead:
 
Zane,

I think you are right. I was thinking of a different model of single engine radial Fokker. My humble apologies Sir.

<--- smacks self

The darn thing looks identicle. arrghh... :banghead:

it is still on my to be build list. Found already a nice blueprint of an original factory drawing. Had to 'cut' it into pieces to make a scan of it, a now trying to put it all to gether again on the pc, to make some construction drawings.
So maybe after the D21 or sometimes before depending on the workload.
 
Please?

Well, now that we've opened the can of worms, I hope someone will build us a model of the Super Universal :icon_lol:
If nothing else I just spent an enjoyable 2 hours wandering websites and found a ton of info - enough to rediscover how historic an aircraft this was --- Arctic rescues, Antarctic exploration, early airlines, Japanese invasion of China... and on and on.

"The first military Super Universals were introduced into service following Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931 when the Imperial Japanese Army commandeered seven Super Universals from the Japan Air Transport Company."
