An aircraft modeller gave me the 4 busts that were included in Dragon Models WWI kits a few years back, unfortunately with no instructions. I believe they are of Hans Goerth, Eddie Rickenbacker, Manfred Richthofen and a British pilot I have yet to identify. Would anyone have the color guides for these figures?? I'd probably come close with an educated guess but I'd like to try to keep the guesswork to a minimum!
Thanks

I have three bust from this series, very nice sculpts by MG. I’ll check around, but I think the kit instructions are long gone. Reference material shouldn’t be too hard to come by.

I believe your fourth pilot is not British, if he is wearing a jacket with fur collar and a map in the pocket, it’s Ernst Udet (German). Or, there was a fifth bust of a French pilot, it was either a limited release or not released at all.

Here's a link that might help you.

I'm lacking the Red Baron, so if anyone has one they want to get rid of let me know.
 
Thanks Roger
Your right, I got Goerth and Udet mixed up! Thats a great link you posted, I'll have to explore it further! If no one can get me the colors listed in the kits, I'll have to do some reseach which could get interesting since I'm probably this forums only color blind figure painter!!
Cheers
