While the new F2B paint scheme looks nice in its D-Day stripes, Zif is right, its not historical. But I still like it. As for colorful historical schemes, well, unlike the Germans the British planes were basically just colored PC10 (a drap green) on the top surfaces and clear dopped faberic (yellowish cream/light tan) on the bottom surfaces. Some squadroms added there own markings, but these were mostly just simple additions. There are a few cases were British squadrons wanted a bit more, but British high command made them remove all the flashy colors.
One might not think so, but the color schemes of WW1 planes is a rather heated topic within the WW1 aircraft community. Even the leading experts in the feild conflict with one another.
