    Question,
    Does anybody have a file or a scan of the 85th Squadron SE5a Hexagon Marking. If you do and are willing to share I would appreciate the help. Would save me a bunch of time.

    Thanks. I can't seem to find the old Vallejo Brown Violet anymore so I experimented with various shades of brown and green until I hit on this one. It's almost there but I might try a 3:1 mix and see if I can't get it exactly right.

    I think Vallejo renamed it Olive Drab, IIRC. Excellent paint job whatever you used on it.

    That PC10 mix is very effective.
    No top-wing Lewis gun?

    Here is my Paint & Glue Miniatures SE5a, the decals are from an unmade Valom kit. Apparently he is getting more detailed files to print.

    Very nice, one of my favorite planes, too bad the British didn't have more varied camouflage.

    From the 1970 film Darling Lili, not realistic but a fun film all the same.
