A friend finished his E.III cowl with silver Rub'N'Buf and then drew on the
sworls? swirls? with a pencil. It looked very realistic.
Other point, could anyone point me at a reference to the purple/green
Austrian (Navy?) finish I picked?
There are photos of 1916 era planes in this finish in Heinz J. Nowarra's book
"Balkenkreuz und Eisenkreuz".
