Not a caliber in common with the IPAF... Ah wait Persia used the Indian 15mm. Use the armament you planned for the D

This is what I think would be what DeBroek could come up with:

DeBroek F-3P Falcon



Description: Completely re-designed on request of the Persian airforce. Based on the concept of the never-build F-3D the plane features an enclosed cockpit with more reliable radio, a new and more powerful engine of the LMF1200 series, a fully retractable landing gear and modified tail plane. A first prototype was assembled in late 1936, allowing a maiden flight in February 1937 folliowing some ground tests that required some redesign to enhance the pilots view forward and swept volume of the new landing gear. Should the plane proof successful in flight delivery of a first series is projected for 1938.

Type: Fighter
Power: 1x 1050hp LMF1200 IX 12-cyl.-engine (inline)
Crew: 1
Vmax: 575km/h
Vcruise: 450km/h
Range: 1500km
Weapons: 2 15mm MG, 2 7,62mm MG



[Stats based on the historical P-40 with Allison V-1710-33.]

Looks good and DeBroek is prepared to help setup a production line in Persia? The Persian version will probably have 12,7 & 7,92mm weapons

Looks nice, Vuk. I particularly like the front end. Has a bit of the P40 Warhawk in her blood, I think.

I agree that it has a P-40 look to it, which is kind of strange since none of the parts are US...

DeBroek sounds a Dutch name ?(

That's because it is a South African plane and we used to be there and despite the English victory during the Boer War, Afrikaans sounds a lot more like Dutch than English. :)

Hmmm... Honestly, I like the F-3P much better. She just looks right to me, everything fits. Those above are odd, somehow.

You are probably right, too much 109?

Yes, too much 109 but also 112. The F-3P on the other hand offers a unique, individual look even though there is a touch of P-40 but that´s probably just because of her radiator.
