Print Scale 012-camo Austro-Hungarian Lozenge Part 1

Lozenge camouflage or Lozenge camouflage (ang. Lozenge camouflage), abbreviated as Lozenge, is a type of camouflage applied primarily to German and Austro-Hungarian military aircraft in 1916-1918. The essence of this camouflage is the use of four-, five- and hexagons of different colors, usually equilateral, closely adjacent to each other. Initially, the airplanes already in the line were painted in this way, but as it was very time-consuming and increased the weight of the machine, from the end of 1916, canvas with an already printed appropriate camouflage pattern was used. As a curiosity, the most commonly used sheets of canvas with a width of 1.345 meters. Lozenge was applied to both the fuselage and the wings of airplanes. It is worth adding that this type of camouflage was used primarily in the German Luftstreitkräfte on the Western Front, but was also used on the Eastern and Italian Front by Austro-Hungarian Air Force.
