Please, note that cockpit glazing is not entirely correct.
Clear panels at the rear section were much smaller (see 3-view drawings of the G-1).

This is the G-1 '301' photo apparently used for the pencil drawing.
As you can see the glass panels of the centre section range from large to much smaller!
The '301' was in fact the '302' with the last digit removed. So it flew for the photo session with registration  '30' and for some odd reason the last digit 1 was later (wrongly) added on the photo. Nose is non-standard colour; most likely just after repair work.
Note also absence of the telescope gunsight on the nose.

I have also image of this plane from rear and many details are well visible. All right- I will rearrange shadows to indicate shape of the windows.

It still have some shortcomings but I hope that it is good match of actual subject. Anyway, this is just study for the forthcoming oil art.

Yes. you are right, canopy framing still needs some correction and front engine cowlings shape is also not entirely correct.
For the rest this pencil darwing give a very nice impression of the famous Fokker G-1 and I really wish you the best with your oil-paint version! Please, note that the last insights on Dutch colour schemes is that the 'light sand' colour (as also used for the Fokker D-XXI!) is not correct. In reality it was 'light-beige' rather than light-brown and -interesting enough- a grey-type paint!
In fact the colour scheme of the G-1 model and the D-XXI replica as exhibited in the Militaire Luchtmachtmuseum (MLM) at Soesterberg will need correction on this point!
