Re: Heinkel He70

Hi, Graham...

Thanks for your reply. I know what you're getting at, it's just that the He70 patterns I've seen do not fit the standard layout of a 70/71/65 scheme. If it was only that easy...

The Russian Wings Palette site and Barry Rosch's publication on Luftwaffe schemes and markings both show a non-standard 'splinter' pattern that doesn't fit the norm, and only shows the port side profile. So, I can't be sure that the starboard side or upper wings and tailplane follow the standard layout either. Unfortunately, neither source shows where their representation of the scheme came from, and almost without exception, the photos and pictures I've seen are either pre-war with the well-known black fuselage trim, or very hazy or unclear camouflaged machines, but sufficiently clear to see they are two different uppersurface shades. The mystery continues...

Thanks again, though, for your input.

Regards...

Paul
