Thanks Richie and Rick, there is a lot of research going into this, the 'sources' are scarce.
And only hex loz on the upper side only and no rib tapes ?
Did FF do the taping like HB did by matching the tape pattern with the hexes ?

The German Naval Hex pattern didn't have rib tapes Alexis.
I also suspect the FF.33L being one of the first to be camouflaged with it?
As I understand some of the Naval Hex patterns were 'painted' on in the beginning.
This photo seems to support that, looking closely at the pattern there is not only a difference in direction but also a
difference in size of the pattern. I believe the naval hex fabric was used on the fuselage and the wings Hex Pattern
painted on on top of the previous color? At least that's the theory
This 'pattern' has obviously given me some 'headache' but luckily Lukasz Sznajder has come to the 'rescue' and
offered me some assistance, printing hex patterns in different sizes, and I am looking forward to be trying them out on this built.
