    ..... to achieve that streaking effect would it be a good idea to paint a Buff colour and than produce the streaking effect with a flat brush and Burnt Umber or olive green oil paint??????

    Most books give it as Olive Green, Noel notice that it was an allover scheme and red was painted over it, so was a bit see through ... in areas red might look streaked [captured well in the 3D image/notice also the oil stains]! Richtofen had two fokkers with this scheme, both numbered different and one if not mistaken went to his brother and changed the tail to yellow.

    I'll be doing Lothar's plane next (his brother) who changed his plane to yellow but over the olive green not over red.

    Ivan...Question:

    If I use oils for the olive green effect , let it dry well ...... will I be able to paint with acrylic over it? Will it adhere?

    I think that is the best option it is like applying streaking effects over AFVs ... W&N has an Olive Green colour perfect for this ...

    Check referances as they had a way how streaks were applied especially on the wings all diagonal and to one side. Streaks were done at the Fokker's factory, colour schemes most field applied. Lothar's first Trip was 'burrowed' from Manfred I read somwhere, not sure about that but notice that his yellow covers more area but cowling is still red.

    Marco that is a great image, especially if original fabric, notice how dark the skyblue has become when applied over already doped fabric, probably they made more then one pass ... sometimes we forget the undercoat colour and how colour behave on that ... nice find thanks buddy!

    Yes Marco... good find!

    It seems that colour on fabric can't be represented as a solid colour ... like for example painted on metal. I believe that one has to spray blotches of light and darker tiny areas of the colour to achieve a more realistic effect.

    I would personally paint as the original, all fabric and doped, then apply thin glazes of the solid colour ... it needs to be translucent to get the underlay 'showing'. It is a good experiment but will on a 1/72 be seen? Nahseb qed nifisaw ...LOL ... but then that is the fun for me trying to experiment and hopefully achieving it, doing a solid colour colour every Joe Blog can do it hux ...
