    Default Ideas for Repaints of Series 8

    http://latvianaviation.com/en/index....F_Hannover.ssi





    For example, on 06 June 1919, Estonian ground troops shot down a German Halberstadt CL.V, (Aviatik) 6905/18, near Narva. This a/c still retained its German war time Balkenkreuze at the time of capture - and was painted with Lozenges on all surfaces. Similarly, Latvian ground forces captured a German Hannover CL.IIIA, 7015/18 - this airplane was however marked in the white squares of the Landeswehr Air Force - and it too was painted in Lozenge patters on all surface areas at the time of its capture. This a/c was then assigned to the Latvian Air Force, who only partially blocked out the Landeswehr's white squares with the Latvian fire-cross roundel and painted the a/c in dark green.

    That's to bad in one way as there planes are interesting but a sort of side show

    Yes, but they're not "Iconic", so no one will buy them. [eyeroll]

    Hence the "Repaint" in the thread title
    The whole mess in Eastern Europe post war is so under known it begger's the mind. I'll admit being surprised how little I knew before
    collecting data for a post-war what if campaign (different game), and will admit I've only scratched the surface.
