My assumption had always been that it was given a red coat of paint for the display, but that would seem to be wrong or there would not have been peeling paint around the fuselage cross and a hole in the rudder in the one photo. Learn something new every day.

Weren't the pictures of the triplane on display in Berlin posted recently - last 6mos or so? Anybody know where they were posted? Would be interested to see them again. Don't remember the hole in the rudder fabric on the display plane.
