| edtherenderman | 27-Apr-20 10:21 | | Here are the wings, elevators, ailerons and half the rudder with the underside camo decals applied. It was a pretty easy process because I spent so much time doping the tissue that I had almost no warping. I used Testers decal set to apply them. I still have to trim and apply the upper set of decals. Once those are done, I need to add seam tapes along each rib to finish it up. |
| Don C | 27-Apr-20 11:00 | | That worked well. Great idea.. |
| BriandKilby | 27-Apr-20 12:01 | | very nicely done! is that one of the red baron's camouflage? |
| edtherenderman | 27-Apr-20 12:21 | | He may have had this before he started painting his aircraft red. It was pretty standard for German A/C. From what I understand, they printed the linen fabric with the standard patterns. They would apply the printed,darker colors to the upward facing surfaces, and use the reverse, washed out colors on the downward sides. Many Jastas would paint over parts or all the aircraft to tone down the camo, or to make the aircraft easier to identify. Some sections of the aircraft where hand panted too. In my case, the fuse and center section of the upper wing were hand painted because they were sheeted, not fabric covered. |
| BriandKilby | 27-Apr-20 13:26 | | I wanted to build that camo design for my comet D.VII, but it was a little too complicated for me. |
| edtherenderman | 27-Apr-20 13:39 | | If this works, it may be a good way to go. I kept the photoshop files really generic. If you have a color inkjet printer, it would be possible to just print sheets of the pattern. The key would be scaling it correctly. I'm happy to share the files(that goes for everyone here). |
| BriandKilby | 27-Apr-20 15:04 | | thanks ed, i'm not doing anything right now, but maybe sometime in the future. |
