Hi Pauke;

It's just a case of not being able to provide everything for everyone. There are many of us who customize our own skins and if someone has already done that skin maybe they will jump in here and say so. There is a thread about how to do skins in the forum and you may be interested in trying it. It is a lot of fun and really not that difficult once you read the intructions in the forum. Start with something simple and then move on to more difficult skins.

I hope others will answer your question about Hans Kirschtein's personal skin.

Best Regards, and welcome.

I can only put it in the best way possible... for Makai, Sandbagger, Paarma, and myself...

"So man skins.. so little time. Which one's should I do... "

His was one on the board that simply never got done.

I remember Makai telling me he was about to start on it, and after analyzing it, realized he could do a dozen skins in the time it would take him to do that one, so he opted for the dozen
Cheers

Gotta agree Shredward.
And thanks for the photo Sandbagger - always love the period shots.
Did have a question about the paint jobs color though and since all the experts are here seems a good time to ask.
Is the skin black and white? Seems I saw someones color interpretation of it and they had it as blue and white.

Duke, I found a painting online and it shows the strips as black and white.

It's a very subjective topic as to what actual colours are portrayed in WW1 photographs of aircraft. The photo above is generally accepted as black and white stripes.
However, that dark tone could also be blue or red - they look very similar.
It's not so bad if you have a colour reference in the same photograph, such as a RFC/RAF roundel or if you have textual references from contemporary books or reports etc.
Otherwise it's down your own take on which colours are most likely to be correct.
