Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 - Foreign Users Part Two
Note: This post is just a re-arrangement of the original one, the Hansa-Brandenburg W.29, in order to cope with the new national -and historical tags - As the drawings aren't new, we haven't announced it through twitter.
The countries covered here are:
Japan: The imperial Japanese Navy used them. They were locally produced by Aichi and Nakajima and featured a locally produced engine. They were named Type Hansa Surveillance Floatplane.
Netherlands: Apparently one ex-German floatplane serving in the Seeluftstation Flandern had to make an emergency landing in the neutral Holland. The Dutch captured the airplane and commissioned it into service with their navy.
Norway: The Royal Norwegian air force received two W.29 and used them to support the coastal artillery units. It was designated as Måke I and they served in that role until 1928 when they were transfered to the Royal Norwegian Navy.
Note: Apparently there's a lot of confusion about the Norwegian W.29. It seems that the W.29 were named Måke I, and, contrary to what wikipedia claims, it wasn't produced by the Kjeller factory. The Måke II and Måke III were produced by that factory but they were based on the W.33 not on the W.29.

Hey! What sources did you use for the color schemes of the Japanese Type Hansas? I'd like to make a model of one of them and I'd appreciate any reference I can get

In Japanese all of them though. Just search "ハンザ式水上偵察機" in Google Images.
