Fokker D. VII paint?
« on: June 29, 2014, 06:28:33 AM »
Ok, I'm building a 1/48 Eduard Fokker D VII flown by Franz Buchner of Jasta 13. 

My question is the color of the tail plane.  Eduard shows a green and white striped color scheme, but looking at pics of WNW builds, it shows solid blue. 

Which is correct?

Its a bit late for me now, but I did mine in blue as per WNW instructions. Looking at German Fighter Units June 1917-1918 they show a solid blue tail, but they also show light blue under surfaces. I'm interested in hearing the outcome of this question.
