Dear Doug

Sorry been tied up lately with Builds and Kids. THE Tapes look great ? I think. I dont have much refernce for those but the colors you posted are more than close enough to me I think and as I discovered with the FOur color tests all can be slightly adjusted between your home computer screen and the printer. SO I am not fussy over the the final version of the tape colors.

I really love the Fabric texture layered on to the color. I think that will make for some nice printining effects.

I sorry you lost me on the Night 5 color Hex ? Do you mean Night/Dark 5 color Lozenge ? I dont think I saw it ?

Hi Doug: As I am new to WWI modeling, I would sure appreciate the patterns that you are speaking of. My references are non existant though, so I could offer little help. The only reference I have is the Squadron In Action of WWI German Bombers. I would like the pattern, without colors like the Aurora Issues of the mid 70's, with color codes and I can paint my own lozenge. Whatever you do is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

MG you have be and steal are a big help

i should not have jumped the gun and things were posted out of order so it is very easy to miss a test pattern and color test

sorry ALL, that is my failing

Mgunns that is all right

, i dont have a clue ether

all that i have is color names in a book ..and i seen your models and they look great

we need to look at all of the color drawing and compar it to Dans colors and the ones that are wrong are tossed

Hi Doug,

Short of rattling a few cages, I don't know what to say about the Night Colors!
I have never seen or handled any. All I have to go on is what has been presented to us through research, speculation, and surviving samples.
The "AERO CONSERVANCY" may have a sample or two.

All I know is what looks good to me. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Best Wishes, Jay

this might suprise all of you there are over 8 painted color patterns, 4 are hexgons and 4 are irregular polygons and 5 of them involve the Gotha GV and other aircraft of this type !!!

Dan has listed the R,G,GL,C,CL numbers of the aircraft , so deciding witch pattern gos with what aircraft is easer i hope

Dan spent a large part of his life on this, so lets us it
