Been working on and off on this for years - had build threads going on two other forums but one is closed down and I do not really post at the other - been on the "shelf of doom" now for quite awhile. Dusted it off, fixed some problems with the paint and shot a new coat of semi gloss clear on it and am going to take another shot at finishing it up.

Heres a couple old pics from before I sealed up the fuselage:

A nice looking build! Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I seem to remember the gold crown decal from a build log. Whos lozenge is on the wings?

Hi RAGIII - the lozenge is Doug Baumans that he had put up on the Aerodrome - I used that to create my own "templated" decals that I printed on my laser printer:

prepping for the rigging is well underway this evening - starting with gaspatch turnbuckles and eyelets to attach them

Hello Petrov:
Been awhile since I have seen one of these on the forums. I am looking forward to see how you proceed with this. The lozenge looks good. I have some of Dougs Lozenge, just haven't used any yet. The cockpit looks pretty cool as well.
Best

Regards,
Bob

i remember this a while back , looks sweet with dougs lozenge.

It is great to see you continuing this one Petrov. Looks Great! I used Doug's lozenge on my D.III too.

Wow! This looks beautiful so far, Petrov.
Best wishes

This build comes at an extremely timely moment, as i am preparing to start my own build. Pheon's decals are very nice, like the lozenge you used.
Stefan

Wow! You have a really good looking aeroplane going there. Nice work on
the interior and the decals look great. I'm glad you decided to carry on with
this model and look forward to more updates.
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Beautiful Build Petrov, great colour scheme and the interior is a joy to view. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a deal on this Kit, have the Pheon Sheet and a "plan" however it's a future project. :-\

Gorgeous, Petrov! I remember this baby from the 'drome. Really enjoyed following along until I got booted. I'm glad you decided to finish her.

Are you thinking of a D.IV conversion Lance? That'sbeen in the back recesses of my mind for a while, but haven't figured out how to do it yet. I should just build the D.III first!
Beautiful scheme Petrov! ;D. Apologies for the brief thread detour. :o
Cheers,
Bob

Absolutely beautiful build Petrov, I really love the scheme you used, I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Bob,
If I can locate a Kit for a reasonable price I'm thinking like you..........a simple DIII.

Sorry for the hijacking, Petrov.
Cheers,

-
Thanks all for the encouragement and positive feedback folks!
No worries on the thread derailment lol - thats not a bad price - I would be tempted but I have another in the stash already :)
-
You have chosen a really striking scheme!!! Your SSW is going to be a beauty!
-
Roden have them advertised at the moment for $45.00 which is a really good price, naturally shipping has to be added. Go to http://rodenkits.com
Sorry Petrov for jumping in on your beautiful build.

Petrov,
Always a stunningly bautiful aircraft. Excellent progress my friend,keep up the great works.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

All of the rigging is set and prepped so I can attach the top wing - hopefully tomorrow.
Also armed it up and put the windshield on. Wow the close up makes it look rough and dusty but ah well!

That looks super, great photo too.

Absolutely great work Petrov. Awful paintwork.
Kind regards
Patrick
-
Great progress, Petrov! A really attractive aeroplane. I love the
paint scheme. The "business end" looks super. Well done!
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Beautiful work and a great photo!

Thanks again gents for the encouragement!
Well, I will not be able to finish this one in 2013 but I am getting there. We have top wing established! The fit of this was not good - I think I had a bit of a twist or warp in the lower wing though it looked to the eye ok - it was a bit of a trial thus getting things more or less square....

Wow, she looks great with the upper wing in place, Petrov.
I am anxious to see how you do the rigging.
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
This is turning out to be a real show piece Petrov, the colour scheme is gorgeous and now with the upper wing in place she looks absolutely beautiful, can't wait to see the rigging fitted.
Des.

Your build is looking even better with the wing mounted! Lovely work on the Lozenge!!
RAGIII
-
yeah doug had the kick ass colors and texture for the lozenge way before anyone else was doing it, i have been using dougs stuff exclusively until the recent times when he has become too busy and isnt able to supply the needs of the modelling community. i rejoice that we now have aviattic, my new favorite. my half built roden 1/32 ssw has dougs stuff on the wings. petrov i must say the build is progressing very nicely and i will enjoy the final result even more.
-
Simply gorgeous, Petrov! So close to the finish line.
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Petrov, your build is fantastic. So very well painted, nice color and great decals. Well done my friend!
Kind regards
