Hello,
Trying to model the "old dog" 1:72 Eduard Sopwith Schneider/Baby, I saw on Windsock devoted to the aircraft a picture of No. 1557 (an early Schneider) which is supposed to be painted with "patches of blue and grey" on upper side of wings and air frame. Internet also provides another examples on Kingston webpage: (See May dates, 1577 Schneider in HMS Undaunted):
https://www.kingstonaviation.org/100-years-ago/1915.html (https://www.kingstonaviation.org/100-years-ago/1915.html)
I would like to know if there is a more concrete reference on british seaplane early camouflage patterns and colors.
Thanks in advance,
Santiago Martin

Well...
Firstly, I doubt that there is. Datafiles are pretty good
Secondly, if there is - you won't find it until after you've finished the model
There weren't a lot of Schneiders, even fewer with that camouflage so the chances of there being more photos are pretty low
It's an attractive idea for a scheme - go for it!
