Thanks for all of the good advice and the comments. I think I know how I will proceed. I am building this to represent Josef Jacobs' Fokker DVII 365/18. In the opinion of the late Dan San Abbott...
"Ltn. Josef Jacobs Fok.D.VII 365/18 was a Fokker built D.VII, the aircraft was covered with four color printed fabric, and strips of the printed matching fabric were used for rib and edge tapeing, dark pattern on the top surfaces and the light pattern on the under surfaces.
The fuselage, tailplane, forward half fin, axle wing, wheel covers, landing gear and cabane struts were painted black.
The fuselage interior metal parts and interplane struts were painted pale greyish green. In the interior fabric surfaces would be the reversed image of the lightened printed four color fabric."
It is assumed that the wings were painted black at a later date. I had Doug Baumann make me a set of the decals to match the Fokker's numbers along with the God of the North Wind design for the fuselage. I am using my best guess as to the style of crosses on the wings and am using those from the "C" option in the WNW kit. I have only seen Jacobs' DVII modeled in all black and I think this will look cool!
