Dan would answer you himself but he's having puter problems so I will pass on what he gave me in my study of 7161/17.
First understand that the wing camouflage patterns were alternated on the Albatros fighters every 50 or so machines in a 50 a/c batch or run. *50 with lozenge, 50 with two toned spary camoflage leaning to the right, 50 in Lozenge, 50 with two toned leaning to the left. *Please understand this was only a tendancy not anything we have written in stone. *Dan's study on Albatros fighters is phenominal. *Dan's own drawings have the colours for the top wing *looking down on the aircraft from plan view with the nose at due north. Dk grn/Mauve/ Dk grn. *The lower port wing from tip mauve/Dk grn to Fuselage. *The lower starboard wing from the Fuselage Dk grn / Mauve to tip. *This say's Dan is the typical rendition from the aircraft in the D.7150/17 to 7199/17 batch. *He (Dan-San Abbott) has seen just about every Albatros photo that exists and he has plotted the camouflage patterns for the known example by series and Prod. batch. *The tail unit by the way was originally L-R top plan view Mauve/Dk grn to tail unit then again Dkgrn / Mauve to right tip. *Contact him as soon as he gets back online and he'll elaborate. See also the ComSam pub. Model Aircraft Monthly Vol 1 #2 Feb. 2002 and you see Stropp done in two tone camouflage in an article on the D.V/Va models. Good Luck STL
