Title: Pfalz Dr.I Jasta 73 Ltn. Fritz Anders in 1:48
Post by: radio on July 31, 2015, 05:46:07 AM

Pfalz Dr.I was next prototypes still a small series of about 10 airplanes built and used at least in the Jasta 73.
This aircraft has the serial number 222/17 and was flown from Ltn. Fritz Anders. Whether he scored victories I do not know.
The model is no longer manufactured by Copper State Models at the time and is a resin kit in 1:48 scale.
In addition, there are several other parts are used as the MG`s from Gas Patch, engine of Karaya and still up some of the grab bag.
An amuntion box and ground is already prepared.
With a fuselage shell I have the Resin thinned and started the hood to change.

  Martin,
I remember this little kit,oddly though I can't remember ever seeing it build up. However with my sometimes faulty memory I'm likely wrong. At any rate I'm looking forward to seeing you work your magic with this latest project.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Interesting as to how its looks are similar to the SSW, Martin!  I think you like pug noses. (Désolé, je ne connais pas le mot en français ... il est argot, pour sûr!)

I don't know much about resin so will watch with interest, Professor.

In the hood bore a hole and extended to air scoop. Then formed the etched part and glued.
In the short square by 0.5 mm plastic strip the frames adds. Also, the tank was indicated by plastic residues.

The belts are attached.
The fuselage together and glued the bottom surface with the body part.
Then plastered all front and made a hole for the engine.
Sanded once more the hood inside.
For the driving force behind the push rods 0.3mm holes drilled, sanded lightly midsection in the cylinder area, truncated cylinder in 5,4mm and glued to the housing part. Then primed.
Etched glued to the fuselage and left Elevator.

Motor mixture intake pipes rear mounted.
22 push rods from 0.25mm brass wire cut with 8 mm length, straight and rolled glued to the engine front.
Hull sanded finish. Made holes for the bracing wires and longitudinal holes for the MG-mount.
Right elevator, rudder and medium wings attached with the external pursuit to the fuselage.
The gas patch MG`s used as pattern to produce the belt-fed and sleeve dissipation. These are great and are later used as the model.
A box is 10mm square.

The last few days I have carried out various works.
On the upper surface the ailerons cut out with the corresponding longer version. Miscellaneous plastered and sanded. Used eyelets for tension and holes for the aileron control cables attached, as well as on the hull.
MG`s and tO / transfers painted and finished.
Turnbuckle and eyelets used to the hull, and made flexible turnbuckles.
Engine painted and finished.
Wings and fuselage primed.

Thank you, Jamie.
What is with hot water? Take the wings inside and Change the warpe.

The second MG and the entire ammunition supply and discharge is installed.
The leather trim is painted around the cockpit and many decals mounted. The original crosses tear very easily, so I had to attach other.

Before I put on the upper wing, this model was sprayed with gloss varnish.
The control cables are threaded and glued.

I looked at my macro shots that not everything is leveled out properly to the hull. Have therefore some corrections done that need to dry now.
All horns are now attached and painted.
The propeller is sawn and sanded into shape. The first layer is applied gloss varnish. The next will follow after drying.
Cheers

The propeller is now completed with the mounting plate and bolt representation.
Bin further when sticking to control cables. Some of them are already painted.
The windscreen is attached.
It still lacks the internal wires, wheels, propellers and the remaining labeling.
Cheers
