Nice but well known photo of number 302 which was equipped with dive brakes under the wings.
Note that the photo is retouched to remove the support under the tail which kept the fuselage horizontally.

Denmark and Sweden were interested in the G-1 which then would also have to be suitable for use as a dive bomber, so Fokker used the 302 to test and demonstrate the proposed brakes.

Photo shows the brakes in retracted horizontal position. By turning them 90 degrees the brakes were deployed.
There exists a photo of the 302 taken from exactly the same view point with deployed brakes. Small version:
