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

[Dave Calhoun]

So to be correct it is feld-grau, which is a dark greyish-green, and after a
couple of weeks in the sun could have faded and looked exactly like a light
greyish-green!
Dave (thinking of doing a red brown Eindecker in Turkey flown by Buddecke or
has that color scheme been disproven?)

that was it. . and a recent WS has/will have updated Austrian Eindeckers
showing them to more likely have been in feld-grau

 Didn't Banfield just say that because he was tired of the questions and
wanted lunch!?
 I have a vague feeling I read that here(?) , maybe it was another plane,
or a dream.

    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.

   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
