OK, itīs just me again.

Stefen,

With all those different paint methods I will check out and all the data obtained through these experiments (I will also do testings of fabric painted in the underside color completely befor the olive being applied, and with such only painted in green), what is still missing?

A comparisation of the appearence of all these different panels with those old images.

What would we need to get this comparisation done? A camara and the films they used back then I guess. Do you have access to such stuff?

I would agree to produce panels large enough to resemble a half fuselage side of the Fokker Triplane. We could go and photograph these in the end with vintage material (camera, films glass plates whatsoever).

What do you think? Any ideas how to expand the experiments to cover this?

Best
Achim
