Here's a feature by Terri Werner (thegirl) of Eduard's 1/48 scale Hanriot H.D.2 floatplane in the markings of Lt. Branberry's aircraft. In the article, Terri explains how she achieved such a nice finish on her model.

Excellent work there Terri! Most impressive. Congrats on the Feature and the images are a vast improvement. You are really coming along! U.S.N. HD.2 Lt. Branberry, Dunkerque 1918. One of the American Naval Hanriot types flown by a Lt. Branberry (evidently a U.S. Marine Aviator not Naval) used the acronym “BAM” in U.S. Marine colours of Red & Yellow. This term was used to describe Marines of the female gender.
