[WWI] Lothar's Tripe

[Rob Stewart]

Hi,

I did mine in what I thought the logical progression;
overall coat of cdl, green streaks, solid green where the white square 
would have been, then thin overall coat of yellow (Misterkit Jasta 11 
yellow).

National insignia were just normal black with a white band.

These 2 pics of his crashed tripe make it difficult to define the top 
wing upper colours, imho.  TO me it looks as if a very thin coat of 
yellow was painted over the streaking.  Certainly not as solid as the tail.
