The pattern of the fabric on the upper wing is very difficult to identify. When you are there it is absolutely impossible to make out. The lighting is poor but what is worse are the 4 florescent tubes shining right at you. On top of that the wing is badly mildewed. I honestly can't be sure of the pattern. The lozenges are smaller than those of the fabric on top of the fuselage. I think I can see some blue and purple but I'm not certain. It may be the same as the brighter fabric below the cockpit that has been badly darkened and yellowed. Notice the white of the Balkencruz is even more darkened and yellowed as that of the Balkencruz on the side of the fuselage.
