Modelnut: I too like your green and brown streaking. I know there has been some discussion about that and I have seen different examples, yours is first rate. I like the Lothar Scheme too. Like Bud, the Tripe isn't my favorite WWI a/c, but it still has it's unique persona with a host of colorful schemes.
Bud: Great job on the Tripe. Using the Streaking decals is like using lozenge decals. If they are there use them. I do like the look of a good hand streaked job, but; knowing the difficulty of getting it right, decals are a great option. I like that scheme and you did an outstanding job on it.
Best
