wsmwsm 0 Posted February 14, 2010 I have this vague memory of a Revell model Fokker Triplane which I put together as a kid. Sky blue. I think it was a Werner Voss aircraft. For you experts, two questions: 1. Did this plane exist? 2. If so, is there a skin to match it anywhere? The research I've done so far is ambivilent. The Werner Voss triplane here has a skin which combines sky blue and green streaks (mostly green). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConradB 0 Posted February 14, 2010 The streaked finish was the way the pigment was applied to the fabric. Voss' DR-I was said to be a silvery blue color. At least that is how profile artists represent it. I have a 1/48th scle either Eduard or Revell kit, that is in the markings of Kemp's plane from Jasta 2 I think it is. It's an older kit though that rescued from a rubbish bin. It's still in the box, as I haven't had the desire to assemble it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shredward 12 Posted February 14, 2010 Discussions of Voss' DrI are remarkably similar to discussions about who fired the magic BB on 21 April. The skin that you see in OFF is what we believe it looked like. Cheers, shredward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 14, 2010 It is always partly guesswork, when you try to determine colours from B/W photographs. Here is the Fokker F.I with Werner Voss in the cockpit. Draw your own conclusions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted February 14, 2010 Sir, I really wonder, if your morning coffee might have been a nuance too strong for you?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted February 14, 2010 . LOL! Quite possible, Olham. But regardless of what color Voss' plane was, he was still likely the best dog fighter of the entire War. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 14, 2010 Yup - much more an aviator, a flyer with a deep connection to his craft, more like Udet, than like MvR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted February 14, 2010 Eheheh! It seems RAF, that you've an attraction for pink planes. Could it be a middle age crisis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted February 14, 2010 . Possibly. But more likely it's due to the fact that I've been swilling Pepto-Bismol like water for a while due to a touchy stomach whenever I eat really spicy food. The day I did Olham's plane I'd had curry the night before. Last night I had a big ol' bowl of five-alarm chili with extra jalapenos. So on each occasion there, for inspiration, sat that God-awful pink bottle on my desk next to the computer. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
