I will simply use a must darker wood color when I get to this one, most likely
the darker color I use on the propellers and applied with the same watercolor pencil.

Anything with red plus the Roland with black dots on it.

Completed so far all in 1/48:

a. Dr.I 152/17.

b. Red Triplane with early crosses. Some say it is 425/17 or 477/17 since you can't see any #s in the pic I call it MvR's Triplane.

c. Red Triplane with white crossfields,my first build before I had better info.

d. F.I 102/17 factory finish.

e. Albatros DIII red fuselage serial # unknown.

Hope to complete in this lifetime:

a. All red triplane with late style crosses often called 425/17 or 477/17
with no serial# on model.

b. Triplane marked Dr.I 425/17 with factory crossfields and blue undersides
because the wreck of this plane had blue undersides under the red .
It has been debated it had been painted at the factory red, if so red with blue undersides and white crossfields and all stenciling is how I think it would have originaly looked.

c. The same crashed DV with removed headrest mentioned here.

d. His Roland with black dots.

e. Dr.I 114/17.

f. All red Dr.I with the fat strait crosses #s not visible as seen parked next to Wenzl's triplane.
