Hi Paul,
*
* As to colour notes, this aircraft had a fuselage painted a slate grey with nose,tailplane and cabane struts painted chocolate brown. The fin and rudder finished in white. The rest of the struts factory grey-green with wheel centre's in OAW mauve/ green finish. The axle wing and forward cockpit coaming were left in standard OAW mauve/green factory finish.
* Dr. Brian Flanagan examined the original fabric from this aircraft and he noted the fabric covering the underside of the fuselage was left in 4 colour lozenge factory finish as were the wings. I did not find a rib tape colour noted, but Ray Rimell has appeared to have used 4-colour lozenge cut into *rib tape on his colour depiction of this aircraft in Albatros Productions " Fokker D.VII anthology 3".
The "U.10" marking appears on both sides of the fuselage ,the port side in *quotation marks. This marking is repeated on the top wing in quotation marks. The small number 20 painted on the fin is also a German marking.
