Okay folks:
Some better pictures of my WNW Pfalz DXII with the Pheon Markings. Unit and pilot unknown. The kit gets very little forum time and it has turned out to be one of my favorite builds. An easy build, great fit, and a great looking model. I first saw the Pfalz DXII when I was in Australia in 1977 at the AWM. I thought it was Fokker DVII but quickly realized I was wrong due to the tail and the two bay wing configuration. The Pheon Decals fit perfectly and I think add a lot of color to the model. I used the kit decals for everything else. I went over the lozenge with very thinned Testors MM Desert Sand to give it a weathered look and take out some of the brightness. I used for the first time White EZ line instead of the usual black. I kind of like it. Enjoy.

Hello, Mark -
Good to see again in better light so to speak!
A really great job. I ran into a few problems with my one (built last year) and is no where near as good as yours.
Regards

Beautiful work Mark! She's a great-looking D.XII. ;D Wonderful aint scheme, and the lozenge looks really good with the muting you employed. Thanks for highlighting this kit for us. Makes me look forward to building it! ;) Well done.

Can't resist adding my appreciation as well, Mark! It's so nice to see this subject modelled and so beautifully. Really pleased that the decals fitted OK; it is always the thing which worries me most about the design process and no matter how many trial runs I do, there is always that niggling doubt in the back of my mind!

Kudos to both Mark and Rowan. I think this is my favorite D.XII scheme, and I will likely order this sheet after seeing this beaurtiful model. Thanks guys! ;D

Hello Rowan and thanks for stopping by. No need for niggling on this one. Very well done. I will be doing another one off this sheet at some time in the not too distant future. Belgian perhaps?
Thanks again

Thanks again guys, much appreciated by all:
@ Lindsay: I was never much enamored over the Pfalz DXII, but; WNW released it, it looked colorful, I had seen one in Australia, Rowan did sheet for with some neat markings, although the kit has some neat markings as well, and....I think I saw one build log on it and it seemed to have fallen in the backwater of the modeling build logs.......so here it is, glad you like it.
@ Bo: "Congrats Mark! what's next?" Thanks Bo: I am "feverishly" working on the LVG CVI. I am awaiting lozenge from Roll Models to finish the wings: in the meantime I am working on the interior details. Once accomplished, I will be posting some pics on the Group Build site. Doncha dare miss it!
@ BvB: Thanks Bob, another example of a joint effort with Pheon, WNW and Bob's Buckles to turn out a real "Barn Burner".
@ Michael: Thanks Michael, the prop is my first attempt using RB products prop mask. I need to work on it, but I thought it turned out alright and had the desired effect.
@ Des: Thanks Des, always appreciated.
