Hello Doug Baumann,

I just need to see them side by side.

It appears that you have relocated the color locations on #6.
Color wise, they both look good to me. Perhaps if you corrected the color location on Test #3, assuming #6 is the corrected pattern, then we could have a look. I like both. #6 looks like commercial representations I have seen. I like the bright colors and overlapping borders of #3, it can always be weathered or muted to suit one's desire. I believe that it would make the best foundation to start with on modeling applications.

Best Wishes, FOKKERJ

thanks Fokker i like number 3 best also would you like to test this

I stupidly didnt check the pattern for DISCREPIENCIES!!!!! whitch one is right ???? the last one looks like fabric because you can see the scanes when magnafide i will check my WWI AERO and NASM pattern marker for color placement sorry ALL for this the dark blue and the green is fliped 3 might be wrong any info would help

FokkerJ,

The colors are in the same locations. If you look closely, you will see that the blue, green and yellow/tan all match up. The difference is the blue-green of #3 is much darker in #6. This conforms to most sources. See the links I posted earlier.

I have 'nt posted here very much but have been following this thread with much interest. I think Doug is on to something with his concept for printing decals.

I agree with SCMc, nothing flipped or swapped. The blue/green of #3 is a much darker green in #6. I also think that the medium blue of #3 is a shade lighter china blue in #6. I like both, #3 is more striking and has more color saturation (and is more pleasing to my eye) but in my opinion #6 is closer to what is generally accepted here as authentic. Thanks again for a very interesting discussion.

Hi FokkerJ,

I think you are looking at the darkest color in each. In #3 blue is the darkest color. Directly below the center tan polygons are blue-green polygons. This color is replaced with a much darker color in #6. The blue is also lighter in #6, but the same polygons are blue. There are some changes to each of the colors, with the biggest change to the blue-green, but the pattern has not changed.

Compare the NASM sample (1) with the Manfred Thiemeyer sample (2) on Mark Miller's German 5 Color Lozenge Camouflage Scheme page. You will see a similar change.

My post appears a bit redundant, since aust3298 posted while I was writing.
