Albatros D series

I have seen your color guesses...
As a matter of fact I'm asking for a friend who is making some skins for Rise of Flight, sim.
You may know him from here as well, Graf.
His own approximations are close to your old Targetware ones.
I have seen your D.II example with Rufe's chips applied on and it looked to me, rather bold and the light green had a light blue hue!
On the other hand these colors bare me in mind reading in Windsock Special on D.III, a description of a captured Jasta Boelcke machine, (D.796/17, G39 for the Brits), in May '17, that stated that the upper wings were painted green and light blue and the under surfaces light blue.
I know about the April Idflieg change of orders about the restriction of the use of the reddish brown on the camo.
DSA in The Aerodrome suggested that some field units applied on the field, light green on the reddish brown areas, in order to meet the Idflieg requirements.
Could be the case and the freshly applied light green had a light bluish hue and was mistakenly thought to be light blue by the ignorant captors?
My head aches!

I'll grab my RGB numbers when I get home

That's why I love drawing recent machines, loads of excelent colour photo's available for free on airliners.net

Eh poo to you and those Starfighters! They don't even have propellers!!!
heheheheheh

Here are the numbers for the D.III 3 tone that I used for Targetware-

Light Green = 116/123/102
Dark Green = 86/89/58
Brown = 126/91/84

I can't remember where I came up with those, probably just what I thought looked right.

Thanks Dave, much appreciated!

Not to hijack your thread BH but just want to show you the colors I am using on my RoF D.III series.





I've taken your RGB values and adjusted them slightly to the world of RoF.

Nice stuff Graf! Some old screens of mine from TR-


The color does look pretty close.

[Graf]

Beautiful work mate. Lovely.

[BLOWHARD]

Same to you Graf, nice skins!!!

Ok...did I get everything?

What a lot of little details! Every time I finished one little bit there was something else to add!
This is Stropp as I'm imagining it looked sometime after it got to the front.
Next I need numerous detail changes to make other D.Vas, it seems that this one has a detail or two that most others don't have.
