Hi,
I know I've already postd a pic on the Snipe build, but thought I'd post a few more here..
Lovely kit with no vices - HGW seatbelts and a bit of modest detailing - markings all airbrushed with the help of Montex masks. Bob's Buckles and monofilament to finish off..
Thanks for looking..
Guy

A beauty and no mistake - what isn't there to like about your Pfalz?
Thanks for sharing, Guy ;)

Great work! You've made a monotone Pfalz scheme very appealing with well-executed weathering and shading. ;D Well done!
Regards,
Bob

There is absolutely nothing you could change in your model since it`s simply one of the most accurately done Pfalzs DIII I`ve ever seen!
-
What a gorgeous little airplane, Guy. Brilliant!
You have some tremendous talent.
Thanks for sharing with us, and I hope to see more
of your works.
Best Regards,
Ernie

I can only echo the comments of everyone else, Guy. Truly stunning. The weathering is superb. What did you use for your silbergrau?
Cheers,
Bud

Looks amazing.
The weathering and general look of the model it's trully fantastic.
One of the best (if not the best) PFalz D.XII i ever see.
Congrats.
-
Superb build, paint job & weathering!
-
Thanks :)
The silbergrau is a 70/30 mix of a Vallejo pale grey (can't remember the exact one) to aluminium.

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

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?

Hi Guy,
Nice Pfalz silver and weathering. Exhaust is perfect.
Cheers,

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,
Ernie :)

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!

Thanks Guy :)
