For my little Airdrome Airplanes Nieuport 11, I thought I'd go for something approximating the Verdun scheme. I used Ronny Bar's excellent profile, printed it on a color printer, and carried it to the paint store where I matched against their pallet strips as best I could.
Here's the tail feathers:
Here's the lower right wing, top and bottom:
My Verdun clay is a bit more orange than I intended, but I like the contrast enough to where I'm not complaining too much.
I also went with a "wavy edge" on the front of the bottom of the wing, as putting a blue border there looked too abrupt and somewhat silly.
Opinions?
