Be sure to weigh the weighing machine and please wear a tin foil hat while doing it.

Love the unnumbered neck hole area as well!

Make sure that you include the humidity % at the time you weigh it. Fluctuations in humidity can cause fluctuations in weight.

That's very obvious.. Everyone knows that. But you didn't mention one important matter... The atmospheric pressure.

How did they print their camouflages that their colours are still good after so many years? I mean, what kind of paints did they use? And also, how physically were they printed? I know that some of them were printed manually, when other ( late versions mainly ) were printed by machines, or printing techniques were combined. I try to guess, how did they print them manually..? And how did they print them by machines, or when both techniques were combined..?

Another part is the way of Storage, maybe in a closed box with 20 other tentplane, or in a barn wehre is everytime dust, ore used as plane for motorcicle............or or........
So it is a stupid way to check the originality, IMO

Same for count the stiches, if the cutter side the plane faster down the machine there are not such mutch as if he do it slowler.

I guess this is only a joke. Not easy to detect, when your (mine) english is not perfect.

It is not a stupid question, for any measurement is also a tolerance with a range I the tolerance.

They used anthracite dyes which is why you also get variations in color. Other than roller or machine printed that's all I recall.

[M44/45collector]

Nice colors, I like it.
It would be much better if it would be mine!

The anthracite.. My knowledge of chemistry is very weak, but I have someone whose knowledge in this matter is very high. That's very interesting.

Anthracite isn't a dye. It is a mineral....called coal. It is a type of coal. The chemical in some types of dye is anthracenedione. Anthracite is is also used as a term for a dark gray or grayish black colors
