Ok here's a question about a plane we are all familiar with, but at my current location I cannot find my photos of it. I know that it is an early production aircraft with various louvers added to the side panels & holes cut into the cowl panels for ventilation, and it also had an oxygen bottle mounted to the fuselage side, but does anyone know if it was built by Fokker, OAW or Albatros? Would the wings be in 4 color or 5 color lozenge? I have the Aeromaster decal sheet but it says it was a Fokker D.VII F. So that would be a BMW powered example. But they show salmon pink rib tapes which was used on Albatros built aircraft. So I'm thinking that something is wrong here, but hope that Dan San or some other expert knows more of the details of this checkerboard painted Fokker.
Thanks,
Dave
