Flypaper:
Who in hell is knocking Alan Toelle, not me and not Steve. There is no one more informed than than Alan Toelle about the Acellos Camoufage Scheme. If you are unaware the the serial listings in Project Butterfy, I can only conclude you have not seen it. Are you aware of the Drinker Report?
What are your bonafides? Have you published this new information you claim to have? If so, here?
The Spad XIII photos you posted, what data did they provide about the dope used? It is not the Acellos dope or their formula. Those cowlings are glossy.
Yes, Project Butterfly has the rudder markings showing how the different manufacturer accomplished the "S" and the font style of the rest of the lettering.
All the dopes used on the fabric, dark green, light green, beige, chocolate brown, insignia red and insignia blue, under side yellow and blue were aluminized. The matt black was not.
Alan has by chemical analysis established the composition and formulas of the Acellos dopes. He has been the supplier of the Acellos dopes to builders and restorers as well as some model builders.
Do you know Alan?
I don't hide behind a moniker.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
