Also something ELSE with lozenge to watch for is the undersurface lozenge
was often LIGHTER than the upper surface lozenge. A fact often missed by
scale judges.
If you wish to pursue a different looking D-VII, Cole Palen introduced (we
got see the first public flight with an original Mercedes engine) a new
D-VII lat year. It is basically white with a lozenge wing. On the sides are
painted the characters from Grimm's brothers Fairy Tale, _The Seven
Swabians_ (spelling might be off). It is a beautiful ship. I don't know if
photos packs are yet available from Bob Banka. I have quite a few plus
video of the flight.
