Actually, I was painting my kits with Pactra
"Authentic" colors in the 60's and 70's, so I guess mine were right and everyone else's were wrong?
Awesome!
Von Mertens, your translator has failed you again I'm afraid my friend, but you are
NOT the first researcher to "define pigments which were used during WWI". There was a group of researchers (Alan Toelle, H. D. Hastings, B. F. Hardesty, and H. L. Edman) that published
Project Butterfly back in 1972 in
Cross & Cockade magazine, and their research defined the pigments, colors, and methods used on French five-color camouflage. I also believe that extensive research has been previously done on Manfred von Richtofen's Dr.I 425/17, as well as pigments/paints used on the Fokker D.VIII/E.V, and some others. Now, you might be the first person to do research on pigments and produce a paint aimed at scale modelers, but you're not the first person to research pigments of the period.
A pity about Gandalf . . . poor fellow, bet if he walked into a bar in Hungary, the patrons would all laugh.
