I am planning to portray the Junkers 13 in Italian service. Can anyone inform me as to what colors were
used on these aircraft.
used on these aircraft.
Watching the pictures and judging by the livery, it's almost sure that Italian Junkers 13 kept the original German paints, i.e. bare metal or better aluminium lacquer overall and black nose. It seems that sometimes wingtips could have been red, perhaps for security reasons. At the time, even Italian aircraft had mainly a silvery finish. Just in second half of the Thirties they were painted Ivory or Pearl Grey.
I hope this helps.
