Default WWI Multi-colored covering

Because I do not know what the exact name is I will do my best to describe it. I am looking for a pre made covering that looks like the "patch-work" on German WWI biplanes. I am putting it on a Fokker D-VII with a 50" WS. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nav.

FYI, what your referring to is usually called "lozenge camouflage"

Coverite used to make a lozenge printed iron-on, but I don't think they make it anymore. Arizona Model Aircrafters has some, but I don't think it has adhesive on it. I haven't tried it and it's pretty expensive too.

I read in one of the magizines a month or so ago that Glen Torrence is developing the covering you looking for.

Glenn Torrance's fabric is 1/4scale size. It right on the money as far as color and shapes for the four color upper and lower. Proctor has stencil patterns in 1/6, 1/5 and 1/4 scale. Its notthat hard to paint the lozenge ppattern just a little time consuming. Also does your plane have four or five color lozenge? Check out the documentation before you start. The Coverite fabric was in 1/6 scale and four color upper only. Kind of rare but I see some on Ebay sometimes. Here is a picture of my 1/4 scale proctor D-7 it has four color lozenge on the tops of the wings only. Donmvc-
