My model will look like this, all red.
It seems more romantic, although it may not be true.
Enjoy with your Fokker RC.
Best regards and thanks for the input
Yes, also German aircraft of WW2 were painted light blue on the underside. It is funny because if one looks at an aircraft flying against the sky it always looks black. Richthofen had several Tri-Planes all of them painted red some with red cowling some with silver cowling.
