I've been working on a Blue Max skin for First Eagles. Looking at color photos from the movie, you see that there are tan lozenges, and light blue lozenges, and black lozenges, along with various shades of grey and white. I did a pattern following the movie and its colors from a photo, and danged if it didn't look right. Too colorful. Really had me puzzled. Doing a triplane like MvR's from that movie was MUCH easier to do!
Very good work. You've really caught the spirit of that movie with your detailed airplanes. I remember when I saw this when it first came out. "Who will fly with Stachel?".
@LJBCRT Oh, man, that's a great movie! That camo scheme was never used on the Fokker Dr. I, but it still looked good in the film! That was back when pilots really took huge risks to do real flying for movies, instead of the CGI that we have today, which doesn't look nearly as realistic.
Good Job. Without the availability of a Record/Playback feature in Rise of Flight (coming soon though), this was surely a very difficult task to 'capture'...still, it shows good cinematography and editing.
Ordered the this one from Game Stop today. Arghhhh to FLY again!

That was a neat trick at the end. Sustained inverted flight with a deep cambered with.

This is a great video. It wouldn't be complete without the Fokker Triplanes, my favourite WW1 aircraft.
