color info for Etrich Taube
I'm looking for color suggestions for an RC Etrich Taube that I'm building. I have some drawings that mention the taube covering being sealed with a rubberized substance that gave an apperance of an uneven, streaked, mottled greyish-brown color. The taube datafile has pictures of a Jeannin Taube restoration that has a rubberized coating that is orangish-yellow. Any suggestions as to what color I should use?

Thanks, Jim

Yellow Taube
Dan,
what's your thoughts on that yellow Taube in the Berlin Museum. The info that I have says that the original maker of the yellow riubberised fabric made up a new batch for the restoration using the original 1913 formula and exact specifications.
I can't help feeling tho' that even at that time a bright yellow Taube would have been considered decidedly odd! Maybe the stuff faded to a more 'dignified' colour quite quickly?
