Eduardo Soler Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I have a doubt. I'm finishing my Eduard DVIII / E V Fokker, and the instructions indicate that the wings are painted green. However, I have recently read that they were camouflaged with two colors (Green and brown, for the upper surfaces and blue and mauve for the lower ones). ARMA HOBBY indicates this in the instructions . On the other hand there is a rear photo of an EV fokker (with a red or black star) whit color contrast on the wings. Is there any expert that can clarify this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmaas Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 This was first described, as far as I know, by the late Dan-San Abbott on the Aerodrome website. The green/brown uppers, and light blue/purple unders, were made by staining the wing plywood in diagonal bands. I can't provide a link from my phone but wi try to do so later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrzeM Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 For sure the "streaky" camouflage was used, it is visible on all good quality photos. See my article on the Arma Hobby blog: http://armahobbynews.pl/en/blog/2017/12/21/fokkers-wing/ Very well you can see this effect here: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
