I just saw the color photo in the August Flypast.
Great looking airplane.

BTW: What, no one is going to complain that the real Lou IV didn't have a dorsal fin? :D

Yup, and also note the suggestion of two light-tone strips running fore and aft on the horizontal tailplane.
Those are better seen in the third photo of this link of Lou IV shot just a few days before her loss..

Mr. Greenhill has presented an excellent example of Lou IV in "by the book" colors! :wink:
