A warm red/brown as seen on the tails of Jasta 65's OAW Fokker DVII's.
The rather poorly renovated "U10" in the Smithsonian displays a duller, dirty brown - most likely a poorly-judged match to a filthy, original finish before we had more understanding of paint and varnish deterioration.
This, along with other major discrepancies in "U10"'s finish render it useless for serious study of the appearance in wartime. A real missed opportunity which so many museums are guilty of around the world. Please be advised all our listings have a 2 day shipping and handling. Most of the times we are able to ship them the next day, but as a norm allow 2 days to see a tracking number in your order. Free shipping is Ground Select Service and NOT expedited shipping. Attention International Buyers with Economy Shipping: After a shipping label has been issued, please allow a few days for the tracking to show in the mail-stream. The courier picks up the bulk of shipments once a week at our store in Florida then transported via ground to the next dispatch center (New Jersey). These shipments ARE NOT handled by US Postal Services. During that time you will see no activity, your package is in a truck. Once received by the distribution center you'll be able to see/track your package. At arrival to your country it will be handed over to a local courier partner for delivery, who may or may not be suffering challenges of their own (ie: strikes, weather, staffing shortage, etc.)
