[WWI] 2nd chance contest. RE. KEMPF'S Dr.I

Rob, Matt, Andy, Gabe, 
                        Thank you all, gentleman, That's a unanimous vote for cdl for president!! Tonight I'll paint the cdl and light blue underside. Thanks, Rob for the application suggestions for the streaking, I must admit I find the prospect intimidating, but after thinking about it I am fairly sure that I am going to go with oil paint as I reckon it has just the right qualities for the job, the long drying time being a factor as well. I have seen it done somewhere and it looked just sort of right to my eyes. I could use the excellent looking gunsight graphics decal, but I fancy having a pop at it with a paint brush. I just feel that decals for lozenge camo is o.k. but the streaking would feel like a job done right using a brush and paint. But then I use an airbrush so I'm still a cheat. I guess.

               Thank you very much, Guys, you've been a great help. 

 

                                                               Cheers!!

                                                                         

                                                                          Nick.

Hi, Guys n Gals. Does anyone have any ideas for the colour over which the the olive streaky camo was applied on this a/c. The Eduard instructions ( I am building the Dragon kit but using the instructions and decals from the Eduard dual combo kit) suggest the light blue base all over then light and dark olive streaked over the light blue. I have also read that it was olive streaked camo over the natural linen and the light blue was for the undersides only. I would like to start getting paint on it tonight, so I thought I would try my luck and see if there are any other suggestions as this seems to be a bit of a confusing issue. Is it light blue or natural linen under that streaking? Thank you folks, for any suggestions you may have. (I've got five days off work and would love to have it finished, then start a large seaplane.)
