Fellow Enthusiasts,

I could use a bit of help. Looking for images of this enigmatic machine and clues to the colors employed. I am collaborating with another wingnut to produce a reproduction of the Jasta 5 line up at Boisstrancourt in July 1917 in 1/48 scale. There are quite a few markings of these machines available and those that are not don't appear beyond some masking and the paintbrush. The two that are the problem children are the Bavarian pattern and Rumeys Demon head. I will battle with the scanner and Adobe Illustrator for the Bavarian pattern but I am not optimistic about that happening any time soon. The quandary right now is my lack of reference for the Rumey machine. All I have available at this time are the Osprey titles and Windsock Jasta 5 specials. Does anyone know of any other clear photos of this machine? I am not convinced that the colors used on the cover of the data file are the most accurate either. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dwayne
