Post by: macsporran on May 24, 2021, 04:19:42 PM: Congratulations, Antonio. I remember starting the Blue Max kit but giving up when the original Eduard release came out. The BM plastic was so buttery you had to be incredible careful cutting or sanding anything.
Well done for bringing this to a very colourful conclusion.

Post by: mgunns on May 25, 2021, 10:33:21 AM: Here I thought that this was a "Blue Max" Pfalz D.III, so when I saw there was no lozenge I realized it was the Blue Max Kit. Nicely done in the eye catching scheme of Raben. I remember those kits being a bit of a "Challenge" and this turned to be an excellent build.

@Dave: I don't have plans for my next project, for the time being I will complete the second bird of the Pfalz Duo: the red'n'blue DIII of Hans Burckhard von Buttlar, Jasta 18 Avelin, January 1918.
