[WWI] Hannover CL.III serial 1632 (?)

[J.R. Boye]

     Marcio, a look at the Datafile (No.23) shows Hannovers from Fleiger Abteilung 7 and Schlachstaffel 27 also having white arrows.
    Most Cl IIIs were finished in lozenges, with lozenges painted on the fuselage and wood areas to match. Many were then overpainted with a dark color on the fuselage with the tail lozenges exposed. 
   I've never seen a profile showing these planes with a green finish. I don't think much is really certain about exact colors used. They may have varied widely.
  4 digit numbers for CL IIIs don't include a 1600 seies. 9000, 2600, 2700, 3800, 6900 and 7000 series are possibilities.
    Information on units and crews can be very sketchy on Hannovers.

Folks,

me again.

A colleague of a Brazilian modeling message boards got an Airfix
CL.III and wants to build it according to a profile he found somewhere
on the web. The .jpg is too little for me to be sure of the serial,
but looks like "1632". It's an aircraft with fuselage in two shades of
green, a white arrow pointing forward as personal insignia, and white
rudder. The guy asks for more information, like crew names, and
squadron. Some exact information on the shades of green would be
welcome too. Can anyone help?

All the best from Brazil

Marcio
