[WWI] Castor oil stains on CDL

[Kristjan Runarsson]

Both I think. The aircraft I'm replicating at the moment is E 5/15  
which was brand new in all my photographs and had only light staining  
after a few flights. I am, however, also planning a model of Fokker  
E.II 96/15 as well and that aircraft should be well worn and grimy.

Cheers
