Dr-1 factory camoflage
I've got this on the model board, also.
Does anybody know what the "streaked" Fokker factory camouflage is? I understand that the base coat for the entire airplane was a metallic sky blue, or aluminum paint colored with a light blue pigment. Then the olive green streaking was applied to the upper surfaces with a wide brush. One color of olive, varying in weight (and thus shade) as the brush deposited its paint. The wings were done chord-wise, starting at the leading edge, and angled slightly to the left toward the trailing edge. The fuselage was near-vertical on the sides, slanted a little to the rear, and the top decking was slanted up a bit from left to right, almost wrap-around stripes.
