Some World War I Fokker aircraft featured doped fabric with streaked green, tan, and brown colors. While building a Dragon 1/48 scale Fokker Dr.I, I developed an easy way to paint the dope with an airbrush. I bought a couple of hair combs with thick, widely spaced teeth, taped them together for the appropriate spacing, then, holding the combs ¼” above the surface, airbrushed paint through the gaps. The result is subtle yet obvious.
