Title: 1/72 Eastern Express Pfalz D.XII
Post by: ScottJ on September 07, 2023, 01:01:51 PM

This is the Eastern Express 1/72 Pfalz D.XII built as 2600/18, the aircraft displayed at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
I used the PART PE detail set as a template to create some of the cockpit details from sheet styrene (unfortunately, the distance I put the rudder pedals from the seat I'm afraid the pilot would have to be 7ft. tall to reach them).  The fuselage scaled out a little short when placed against the Datafile schematic so I lengthened it a bit at the tail.  Five color lozenge decals are from Old Propeller.

This is gorgeous, Scott! I have a soft spot for modelling preserved aircraft and in this case you've excelled. Bravo!

Another beautifully built subject. I’ve always liked the Pfalz D-XII and feel it has not gotten the attention from other modelers it deserves.  I have a few that I’ll get to someday…

Super model with excellent interior details. I could easily be led to believe that it is in a much larger scale.
