Having seen Huub's new repaint at SOH for Stuart Green's great classic, I went searching in my Osprey Publication of Fokker D.VII Aces Part 2. I came up doing a repaint of Ltn. Arthur Laumann, the last commanding officer of Jasta 10. Ltn. Laumann flew this late-model Fokker D.VII finished in four-color lozenge fabric. Laumann's initials were painted inside a (presumably) yellow side stripe. At the time he flew this aiccraft in August 1918, Jasta 10 was based at Bernes. He finished the war with 28 confirmed victories. In 1935, he joined the newly formed Luftwaffe and served as commander of the new JG Richtoften prior to World War II. At the end of World War II, he wasd an air attache to Yugoslavia and Greece. He died of a stroke in 1970.

A special thank you to Huub Vink for supplying the four-color Lozenge textures based on colo(u)rs he and Mark Miller arrived at. I downsized the textures for the wheel wings to make them appear more to scale. The fabric was applied to the wings and fuselage in the manner described in the Albratros Anthology of the Fokker D.VII.

Replacement textures are DXT3, except Bob's propwash (included, thanks Bob), which remains 888-8 32-bit. Upload soon to SOH.

Why does averybody always blame me? :costumes:

Well I guess in this case I don't really mind :costumes:

Nice one again Cazzie! I have numerous repaint for Stuart's Fokker and unlike other models I actually fly most of them :applause:.

Cheers,
Huub
 
It's been sent up, look soon in the latest add-ons.

Huub, there is something about Stuart's D.VII, that I cannot just take it up and take screenshots, I have to fly it somewhere! :d It has perhaps the best flying qualities of any WW I aircraft I have, it is just such a pleasure to stroll around God's heaven all day in this airplane in the VC! :applause:

Looking good Cazzie! Did you ever complete the Dutch skin for the 2-seater Spitfire? Mike :applause:

If I could ever figure out that top cowl panel and get the anti-glare panel on her, she's done Mike! She is even looks better for some reason in FSX, even though I am using 888-8 32-bit textures in both FS9 and FSX. The textures are a bit more blurred in FS9, but are sharp in FSX. PM me your email and I'll send you what I have.
