Jan,
I really doubt if these pigments - especially if they were mixed with resin - would give the same result as the wood stain, the stain soaks into the wood and colours it rather than laying a coat over it and this is the difference, I think, between the streaky finish on the fabric covered Fokker aircraft and those covered by wood, the fabric covered examples used powdered synthetic pigments (anilin) mixed with varnish.
Synthetic wood stains are available however and these could be a good substitute if they can be obtained in the same colours, I am looking into this presently.
