Aircraft / Re: Pfalz D.XVf wing question

« Last post by DaddyO on Today at 04:34:41 AM »

Hi Herb

Looking at the Jack Herris book 'Germany's Fighter Competitions' it seems that Pfalz entered two versions of the DXV in the third competition and the picture is of the one that lacked the horn balance on the ailerons (like the DXII top wing). No other details given in the book and sadly no plans or different photo's. 

Sorry not much help . . .

Hints and Tips/Questions about modeling / Re: Rigging in 1/48 - best method for RAF planes

« Last post by Dirigible-Al on Today at 04:25:23 AM »

The Eduard Camel, though a good kit, has a lot of rigging for a fighter. If you've not rigged anything before it may be better follow the afore mentioned advice and drill right through then make good the exit holes. You only need to drill right through one end of the line as the other can be anchored into a hole drilled part way. You could always have a go on a practice mule before doing it on the Camel if you have something in the spares box.

Aircraft / Pfalz D.XVf wing question

« Last post by herbarnold99 on Today at 03:01:36 AM »

Hello all,

The Pfalz D.XVf apparently had a revised, "rounded" set of upper wingtips. I've only seen this one photo that shows this particular aspect from the side (attached). Does anyone have any kind of 3-view or different photo that may show how it looks from above? Did this wing have a shorter span than the standard D.XV? So many questions, I'm hoping there's a Pfalz expert in the house...

cheers
Herb

Completed models / Re: 1/32 Wingnut Wings Halberstadt Cl.II (Early)

Thanks to all for the kind words on my model - very much appreciated. I often look back on a build and feel a bit deflated that the end result was less than I was happy with. But I'm very pleased that this particular model has a particular appeal to me, be it the scheme, details, overall shape or a combination of both. Glad I picked it out of the stash and got on with it.
Cheers,
Gary

Incredible work here, Stephen. Happy to know this wonderful work is on display so that many people can enjoy it. I also like the idea of your collaboration with a fellow modeller by adding the figure.

Thanks for posting your photos Nigel - from what I see here (and from a few other posts elsewhere) it must have been amazing to see some of this masterful work in person. I find some of these pieces of work very inspiring, but also intimidating in a way. Very sorry to hear about the food poisoning - you certainly did not need that!
Cheers,
Gary
