I ran across an article by a modeler on line that talks about Dr.1's being painted in light green, dark green, and dark brown wet blended. He said he got the idea from an article in W.W.1 Aero in the 80's. This is the first I've heard of this and have searched this forum but can't find a thread about it. In all of the color plates in books on the triplane, I have never seen this scheme portrayed.

this tells me that it is not a popular view. Anyone have any info on this theory or its basis?
