Greetings all;

While we all await the new Microsculpt decals for the Fokker Streaking camouflage seen on the production Fokker Dr.I and other Fokker license built products, I thought I would offer a quick look at the layout of this camouflage and what it would take to paint it on a kit. These are two full sets of DML / Dragon wings and some various tail unit and extra elevator & ailerons. Note how each was done as a separate unit. note the angle only covers about two ribspaces on the wings.

Here is a bit of fun concerning 1/48 scale streaking and a further note of how to do it.



Fokker Streaked camouflage 1/48 - painted. At right the base coat is a light almond colour representing unbleached linen. At left the finished Fokker type streaked camouflage. The dark solid fields were for the crosses. It was ordered to bring the factory white fields of the pattee or iron crosses down to a narrow border. With the balkan crosses the border was at first widened then narrowed down in specific ratio later in the war.
