Title: Painting a RAF Fokker DV.II
Post by: menardi on November 04, 2013, 12:43:20 PM

Hello, everybody!
It is my first question in this forum.
I have in my hands the Wingnut Wings Fokker DV.II and I would like to paint it in the RAF colours.
Please, could anyone tell me the appropriated colours for my project mainly to the wings (upper and lower sides). Must I keep the lozenge pattern camouflage?
Any help is welcome.
All the best,
Fabrício

i would research to see if there were any captured d vii photos available in brit markings then mimic the scheme. i have seen many captured aircraft on both sides in different period photos. if you are asking "what if?" the british made a d vii then the standard brit finish was uppers and sides in pc-10 (a brownish green shade of drab) and cdl(clear doped linen) bottoms which is a creamy beige to buttery shade. then of course the wings would have above and below the brit cockades and the tri-color stripe on the rudder. other than that i dont know what to say.

I believe Pheon does a set of decals for RAF and Canadian D. VII's.
