Fokker E.V wing streaking on a model

Modeller Viktor Krogius tested the new knowledge about Fokker E.V upper wing painting on Roden 1/72 kit. Photos by Jan Vihonen:







Interesting, eh?

I did not. I'm not that good! I take the liberty to quote Jan Vihonen, a friend of Viktor Krogius, the modeller who built this Fokker E.V:

This is based on what started at Aerodrome a while back. Mr. Krogius made this
representation by first making a pale coloured plywood imitation as per
original (according to the theory, that is). Then he used/concocted the
colours from artists' inks, which he applied to the wings in the manner
seen in a couple of factory wing test photographs published in the
Aerodrome thread.

Interesting. Although I thought the wider streaks in Dan san's aproach were more appropriate, the colors make more sense when viewed on an actual kit. it's really good. And it seems to ad credence to the steaks, as the underside colors almost match the feuselage lozenge, and the upper colors compliment the topside lozenge. Very good! JW

Nice to see that someone has actually tried it. Wonder what DSA has to say . . . .

fok.E.V/D.VIII patterns.

Gentlemen;
I give him an E for effort, however the pattern is incorrect. The colors are NOT applied in narrow streaks. The five pattern for example would have three area of say violet and two areas of true blue. So you would have violet, blue, violet, blue and violet. The angle is the width of a rib bay. I would suggest first painting the wing a straw color to simulate the plywood, and then apply the camouflage streaking.
There are 3,4,5, and 6 panels of alternating streaking, green and brown and violet and blue ion the bottom. On the leading and trailing edges, the violet matches the brown, and the blue matches the green , panel for panel.
Blue skies,
Dan-San

Need a blueprint!

Holy cow, will someone post a drawing or a built model of what is being discussed here?

Were the plywood panels streaked BEFORE thery were attached to the wing?

Also, beneath Fokker fuselages, where they were shoelaced together, did the lozenge fabric match up on the two side?
