I've got a 1/48th DML Fokker D-VII which I want to build to represent Josef Mai's Black and White striped machine. Only photo I have is in Squadron-Signal's 'Fokker D-VII in Action'. Lozenge pattern on wings is at an angle that doesn't clearly show whether it is the darker 5 color or lighter 4 color version of the pattern. I have both renditions for uppers & lowers from Eagle Strike decals- anybody know which is correct?

Also trying to figure how how to reach Americal/Gryphon to obtain replacement decals for about six british & french fighters from the Blue Max line. Anybody have contact information for Americal/Gryphon?

Thanks in advance for your assistance! -Erik :-/

Thanks again Dan San!! I appreciate your very detailed answer, all the information will be heeded as I build the model. Don't know where you get the stuff, but I'm certainly grateful for the education!!
