I thought you might like a thread dedicated to where we came from. Here is a bit of fun from Krasal industries - Microscale back in the 1970's

What was the interpretation of Fokker Streaked Camo back then?

Back then the consensus was olive drab streaked over a pale yellow or white. Since then we have of course published evidence that Fokker used unbleached linen ( very light tan or cream) for most of all his production series fighters. It was only on the experimentals or preproduction machines he used bleached linen. We also know now that the green was quite a bit brighter on the Fokker streaking for the Fokker D.VII series.
