As I work on the last two Dr.I and one D.VII kits that I planned for this thread I have noted some points of interest.
One is the decal instructions for Gunsight Graphics. They were not airframe specific in the text about what D.VII machines acried the streaking. I called up the owner and had a great conversation with him. Two things he made clear to me were that;
A. Because the carrier was clear the decals could be overlapped to create and even more varied and intense pattern.
B. He was advised by his instructions editor "Not to be too specific otherwise you sound too much like a Know it all."
Let me take this opportunity to encourage ANYONE who is putting out decals or aftermarket kits or etc. Be a know it all. The average modeler knows less that you do about your product. Give people as much info as you have gathered to let them know your product is sound.
My other consideration is If you get these decals use them. Don't let them sit on your shelf. These kinds of decals have appeared and disapppeared before in WWI modeling. None are left today because they were an oddity to be collected. Personally If a model company could include these items in their kits the scope of WWI modeling would reach newer modelers and expand the hobby as much as lozenge decals have. One fellow who comes here use to have the motto "Cut the bullo and build!" Try these decals and you will be pleasantly surprised.
