Fokker Tripe Colors

Greetings,

On the box-top cover art for Eduard's Bristol F2B fighter there is a Fokker Tripe with a blue forward fuselage and wings, a white band around the fuselage behind the cockpit, and the rear of the plane being red. Anybody know if it's accurate or if it's a figment of the imagination?

Thanks, Steve Luce

Is this what your talking about?

From all the profiles I have seen, I never have seen this or have heard of markings like this before. This would have been a unique profile and would have been picked up by some of our artists. I would say I'm about 98% sure that this is as you said a figment of the imagination.

Lloyd.

Gents,

Thanks for you replies. I was afraid that was the case.

Thanks, Steve
