[WWI] A-H A.III 03.43 (Fokker E.III)

[J.R. Boye]

 Hi Art;

    Dr. Martin O'Connor identified the Eindecker color as Methuen 30C6 in his book "Air Aces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire". This was based on the color selected on 3 separate occasions by Gottfried Banfield, who flew several of these planes during the war.
    I don't have access to a Methuen book, but as depicted in the profile the color is a light greyish green.

                                              J.R. Boye

Subject: [WWI] Looking for information on A-H A.III 03.43 (Fokker E.III)


All, 
 
I've been looking at my Eduard Fokker Eindecker kit and I decided I'd like to build it as a KuK aircraft. Specifically, A.III 03.43 as pictured on page 398 of the Austro-Hungarian Aircraft of World War 1 book. Can anyone confirm the color of the aricraft? It looks like it could be green, but I'm not sure.   
 
Assuming it is green, is the Misterkit color AH03 (Fokker Pale Green) and appropriate green? If not, what is a better match?
 
Thanks for any guidence
 
Art
