Having done absolutely no research on the subject re: Albatros wing
camo, I've
always wondered if the violet and brown weren't actually the same color.
It doesn't
take much fading/weathering for dark reds and violets to appear brown--I
had a dark
red car in the 80's that, by the 90's, people insisted on calling brown.

You can simulate this with Photoshop: pick a nice rich reddish violet as your
foreground color, then use the RGB 'Color' palette to reduce the amount of
red--doesn't take much fiddling to turn brown...

I don't think this would explain it, Karen.  Weren't all the 2-color schemes 
with mauve as one of the colors such that the center of the wing was mauve 
while the tips were green?  If so, this wouldn't explain a pale green 
wingtip, an olive wingtip and a dark red center section that's reported in 
the Flying Circus document.   If the mauve had just turned brown it would 
have produced wings that had green tips and a brown center, no?  I don't 
think it's insignificant that one of the colors on the wings matches the 
marking band around the rear of the fuselage.

Really excellent stuff. As usual.

Just curious, how high is the resolution on these? I've got a new

4'x6'.

Just a thought.

I thought ya'll would like to know about Theo Osterkamp's Fokker D.VIII that 
has been entered into my online contest. Scroll down to modeler number 
eight. It stands out nicely against the backdrop of Me-1*#'s and F+"6's.

While it´s just to late over here to look into the other questions: There
was an Idflieg Anweisung from April 12, 1917, describing the change from
"reddish brown" to "lilac" (mauve) in order to provide some difference to
teh allied camouflage (French, I would guess). So the fact that there were
two distinct colors seems assured - I think the Anweisung is also published
somewhere in CCI or Windsock (but I´ve never seen the original thing, so
this is from those transcripts found in a number of places)...

IIRC there is an order specifying the change from brown to violet

But this was a shift from brown to mauve in a 2-color scheme.  I don't think 
it has much to do with explaining any possible 3-color scheme.

Only problem is the violet came after the brown .. brown was discontinued as
being mistaken for the French two colour pattern of brown and green. The
order for this has been published in various places  - none of which come to
mind first thing in the morning.

source file for the dogfight image is about 4000
pixels across.
Could easly be bigger - the nature of the CAD modeling
allows unlimited scaling, but the maps ARE resolution
dependant - i think the fuse map is about 2000 pixels
front to back which should allow a fairly huge output
size. I'd bet It would hold up to 6 feet or so because
the modeling tends to enforce the maps. But I would
have to experiment a little.

of course you pay for size with time.
everything takes longer. but with my new machine it
wouldn't be too bad.

I have noticed that these images hold up surprisingly
well when enlarged - and think that a 4000 pixel image
would probably be ok up to 30 inches or so...
yes - i know that's only 133 DPI, which might be a
little extreme.
again, I'd have to do some experimenting, and the
output device has a big role.

Now I'm home I can dig this out a bit more.

The change from brown to violet was made at the time when the 3-colour scheme 
was supposed to be in use, hence my curiosity if the scheme went from 
brown/green/green to violet/green/green.

DSA did research in which he claimed to have identified patterns in the three 
colour schemes on DIIs which could be identified by batch and maker by the 
pattern.

The colours are identified in an intelligence report on a captured DIII - olive 
green, pale brunswick green and dark venitian red

The point that I (and other) find curious is that if we had a 3 colour scheme 
before the change to mauve/lilac/violet/purple, did we have a three colour 
scheme of violet + the two greens, later rationalised to violet green.

My usual thoughts are there is no evidence either way - there are photos of 
Albatros ordered after the switch with three tone wings. Others remain 
sceptical about the whole thing.

There was a discussion (started by me) in August 2000 - see the digests on or 
about the 8th

Close enough. Same principle as a "single point" sight on a military rifle.

Forget any idea of peering down a telescopic sight with the other eye close, 
that is not how they work.

They are intended to make it easy to keep situational awareness - both eyes 
open and consequent wide field of view - while making it easy to point the 
weapon. I took a day or two to get used to one which wasn't as good for 
target shooting but hell on wheels for snap shot stuff once I'd get the hang 
of it

FWIW Eduard had been pretty good at hitting release dates before they moved 
to the higher quality moulding, and at least as good as most other companies 
since.

Constant whining about having to wait a bit will not make anything appear 
faster - but you can bet that Eduard will take soon the Tamiya road and stop 
telling us what's coming entirely unless the plastic is already being boxed. 
Whether not knowing at all just what might be coming sometime will be better 
is up to you to judge

Subject: Hansa Brandenburg D.1 Strut colors
Message-ID: <000701c2796e$702f32a0$69928ece@computer>

Here I am priming and getting ready to paint the struts on the HB D.1 and I
find out that I don't know what the finish is supposed to be.  Phonix built
planes had much lighter finish on the struts  than HB built planes but I
don't know what it is.  I see numerous illustrations that show the struts
wrapped in fabric, but I have no pictures that support this.

On page 12 of the FMP book on the D.1 there is a photo of a HB built ship
with a damaged strut.  The strut has regular dent indicating to me that it
might be sheathed in metal and not just a wooden strut, this would create
quite a headache.  Has anyone researched this item in the past and come up
with something definitive?  Any opinions on this?  Right now I leaning
toward a finish of very light wood tone, but I'm more than happy to listen
to any other words of wisdom.

 Just got the new Staaken R.VI Datafile and it says Staaken grew out of VGO

Folks,

curiously, I was subscribed to the list but wasn't receiving the messages...
I unsubscribed and resubscribed and now everything goes well :-)

If someone answered my call to the Secret Santa here in the list instead of
writing off-list to me, please contact me at wwi_modeler@hotmail.com or
marcio.castro.campos@ig.com.br because I didn't read the list messages these
last days.

I plan to return to the workbench this weekend, the Eduard Triplane is going
very well...

All the best from Brazil

Don't sweat the seat-belts not sitting totally flat on the seat, they
look very natural hanging like that.

Thanks Allan.. I am learning the Joys of P.E. at the moment.

I assume that the seatbelts are made out of a thick canvas ?
