Each month Internet Modeler will feature quality profiles by Bob Pearson and Chris Banyai-Riepl for many of the articles, and here you will find full size examples of those profiles, along with descriptions about them. |

| Fokker E.III 419/15 is seen here in standard ex-works finish of plain varnished fabric (otherwise known as clear-doped linen - CDL) and polished aluminum cowl. Note the small werke number of 401 on the lower rudder in the CDL fabric area. |
 |
| Fokker E.III, serial unknown, flown by Vzfw Eduard Böhme of F.Fl.Abt 9. Although depicted as being in CDL, this aircraft may just as easily have been in light gray or green. The black and white markings were those of the Bavarian Feld Flieger Abteilung 9b. |
 |
| In addition to the German Air Service using the Fokker E.III, 22 were supplied to Turkey and 18 to Austro-Hungary. The one depicted here was flown in Turkish service by Obltn Hans Joachim Buddecke. Again the color is speculative and may have been dark green or gray. |
 |
| Aichi B7A "Grace" of No. 752 Navy Attack Squadron, 5th Company, Katori Base, Chiba, April 1945. This Grace is finished in the standard IJN camouflage of dark green over gray (or possibly silver duralumin base with no paint). There is no white outline around the hinomarus. |
 |
| This is what a circle looks like from the side. This is the Sack AS6 V1, a bizarre looking little fighter from the mind of a farmer and scale modeler during World War Two. It is finished in RLM71 Dark Green over RLM65 Light Blue. |
