DFW C.V LVG colours
« on: August 10, 2014, 03:31:49 PM »
Hi,

thought I might get this ball rolling with some colour matches for the DFW C.V. In this instance here are the recorded or interpreted colours used by LVG on their Albatros D.II airframes, as summarised by Dan-San Abbott. I would regard these as being directly applicable to the LVG-built DFW C.V too.

These tables are copied from the Aerodrome thread. I'll put together some paint matches if I can - I did some Vallejo mixes for the dull green and purple on my WNW LVG C.VI which languishes because of hassles with the lozenge decaling. I still need to add the LVG purple to this posting though - give me a couple of days.

DFW, Halberstadt and Aviatik colours to follow.





Cheers,

GrahamB

PS. my Kiwi and Aussie chums will be able to get hold of Resene colour chips to aid paint matching - most of these are from the Multifinish range obtainable from their stores. Others can use the RGB values to get matches using colour-finders from other ranges such as Dulux, Berger etc.
