I'm talking about those neat little rows of circles that modelers are so fond of. There is not a single photograph in existence that shows this on any eindecker...no matter what reference source you use. There was, however, some random scrolling.
OK- so our disagreement isn't great- it's about the details of the brushing- the shape of the individual elements and the way that they are arranged overall. Do you have a good source for what that looks like? While Slope Pilot may or may not want to do any simulation of those markings, I may, as my own BUSA Eindecker, the larger version, gave me the opportunity to do that when it tried valiantly but was unable to continue flying at the low throttle level I had given it (far away in a very noisy environment). So I have a little rebuilding to do, and had considered putting some brushed aluminum on the cowl and cheeks.
