Beautiful work, Guy. The very simple colour scheme is spectacular with your subtle highlighting and weathering added. A very impressive model!
Cheers, :)

There have been some great models going on display recently and this one is no exception - well done!

Excellent Work on the Pfalz.  I like the Silbergrau scheme and yours looks the business.

Best

A real beauty as all of the others have said! I am interested in hearing more about the Montex Masks?

Hello Rick,

Yes the Montex Masks were really very good  :)  I did deliberately choose a very simple scheme as it was the first time I've used them - the crosses are child's play to use - I imagine a set of Roundels would take a little more effort.  I think there is only one Montex set for the Pfalz which gives you two options - but I wasn't keen on either so picked my own one in the end but utilised the masks. One added benefit was that I was able to reuse the top wing masks to very lightly spray the underside of the top wing to replicate the shadow through the linen. You can just see it on the photos if you look hard!

I've just looked on the Montex website and here are a few of the WW1 1/32 options - As good as the Wingnut decals are, you just can't beat that painted on look..

Check them out...

Ps they are specific to manufacturers kits but I can't see why you couldn't use, say, the Roden Triplane set on a Wingnuts kit.. They can't be that different in dimensions surely...

Anyone else have experience of Montex?

Guy, what did you do the weathing with...paint or weathering powders?
  Whichever it was, you have done wonders with it!  Great job, Guy.

Cheers,

Hello Ernie,

Combination of techniques - washes, pencil mainly all dragged back in direction of the airflow.. I don't have a particular system - it just seems to evolve as I mess around with stuff.. Sorry, probably not very helpful!
