This is the C.X prototype without registration.
Later it received the ML-KNIL registration FCx450 for the Netherlands East Indies and it has flown both with a semi-enclosed and two open cockpits. It crashed on 7 December during a test flight near Hoorn.

Some 80% completed :))

Title: Re: Fokker C.X

Development completed, first profile coming later :))

Title: Re: Fokker C.X

And the first profile ;)

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: Nico Braas on April 27, 2013, 04:17:07 PM

This was pattern machine made by Fokker for licence production in Finland and it definitely did not have the national insignia on its propeller blade. This was typical for C.X with propeller made in Finland.

Excellent job my friend!! :-clap :-clap

This small detail slip from my eye, will change this later. This one could be interesting, look like local conversion.

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: Nico Braas on April 27, 2013, 05:06:43 PM

Conversion with three-bladed propeller!
 According to Dutch book by Hugo Hooftman also FK-79 had three-bladed prop!

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: No.1 on April 27, 2013, 05:19:09 PM

So two samples? I have take a look in dozen of Fin's magazines and one book but no specific info. From this image is obvious more other variations, I give my best to include them in profile.

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: No.1 on April 27, 2013, 06:55:38 PM

Another one :) I think I will make two more samples.

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: No.1 on April 27, 2013, 08:12:56 PM

It look like we have similar situation as with one Fokker D.XXI, fabric cover replaced and remained with basic red brown protection color.

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: Second Air Force on May 01, 2013, 12:46:23 AM

These are all great!

I think I like the radial version even better than inline!

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: No.1 on May 01, 2013, 06:05:05 AM

At least proven better in combat. Good sample is A-8 Shrike which have inline engine to be changed later to radials

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: Nico Braas on May 13, 2013, 12:39:12 PM

Machine got later registration FCx450. It crashed near the town of Hoorn during test flights with Fokker test-pilot Emil Meinecke. Meinecke survived the crash and later FCx450 was repaired and sent to Netherlands East Indies

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: No.1 on May 13, 2013, 12:46:37 PM

FCx450 did have difference in external details and I will complete this machine today :)

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: No.1 on May 13, 2013, 03:23:33 PM

And above mentioned FCx450 :))

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: Nico Braas on May 13, 2013, 03:44:03 PM

As far as I know the protrusion showing under the fuselage was the crew's 'relief-tube' and on most pictures it is not visible. Apparently it was a necessity at longer flights......

Thank you :) One correction on previous profile and new one.

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: Nico Braas on May 15, 2013, 04:37:20 PM

C.10 must have been a formidable 'sports plane'!
Civil registration was used for international flight displays.

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: No.1 on May 15, 2013, 04:42:46 PM

Just seen now error on civil registered machine... to regret I did not have material in time, whole color have to be more close to US Olive Drab and on rudder must be flag. Also- whole wings are silver. Update coming...

Title: Re: Fokker C.X
Post by: No.1 on May 16, 2013, 01:55:56 PM
