I finished this yesterday, a superb Kit all around. Additions include After Market Decals from Wingnut Wings, Lozenge from Wood and Wire, HGW Seatbelts, Taurus Engine details, Czech Master Spandaus, and spoked wheels from the Spoked Wheel Shop, Steven Robson. The cockpit is a "full build" including flight control rigging, and Airscale and Aeroclub Instruments and bezels.The prop is my own hand laminated and carved Axial. Last, the rigging accessories are from Bob's Buckles and Gaspatch, mono is variously .012 to .015 mm.
Here's a bunch of photos of Her starting with a few different aspects:

And that's all she has to offer. Wonderful Kit and a pleasure to build. Hope you enjoy Her!

Lance,
May I be the first to congratulate you on a beautiful looking Pfalz... What isn't there to like?
Great build!!
Thanks for sharing your build with us.
Cheers,
Bob

She is absolutely gorgeous Lance, a superb build and an immaculate finish, your propeller is a testament to your excellent modeling skills. The scheme you chose is extremely eye-catching and really makes the model stand out, the seat belt hanging over the fuselage is a great touch. Congratulations Lance on producing a world class model of a beautiful aeroplane.

Best wishes

As I have said in the Under Construction section - this is a fantastic model in its every aspect! You should be truly proud of it.
-
Your Pfalz is a BEAUTY! You have done outstanding work all around from interior to final finish! Lovely build!

You've created a beautiful Pfalz Lance! The MJF colors are very sharp, and I particularly like the look of the lozenge on the wings. ;D Great job!
Regards,
Bob

Bravo again, Lance, there is some master class model building on display here. A special shout out for your own handmade custom prop, it is beautiful.
-
lance,
That is just an absolutely beautiful Pfalz! A true masterpiece.

Incredible work, Lance. One to really be proud of. You've really kicked up your game more than a few notches on this one. Bravo!

All of you.........
I very much value and appreciate your generous and very complimentary remarks; there is no better inspiration then that provided by the praise of those you are striving to equal! Many thanks for your encouragement, and for taking the time to look and comment. :)
Cheers,
Lance

Hello Lance,
Another great build my friend. A Pfalz for the gallery of all the tremendous builds on the forum. Extremely well painted, awesome details, nice weathering. What more can I say. Great craftmanship. Many many congratulations!
Kind regards
Patrick

Congratulations on a beautiful model of a beautiful aircraft. The spoked wheels give a very nice touch to a very convincing paintscheme.
Very well done!
Stefan

Wonderful work, Lance. Your talents are so evident in this magnificent model. You are
an artist when it comes to fashioning propellers. Amazing stuff, my friend! Thank you for
such an informative and enthralling build. I'm already looking forward to your next.
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Lance she`s absolutely beautiful!!! The weathering is first class - not overdone and very realistic. I also like the scheme you have chosen! I love anemometers - such a fetish ;) so two thumbs up for installing one on your model. A superb build mate!
;D ;D
-
Thanks Steven, Patrick, Stefan, Ernie, and Filip.
I'm flattered by the numerous and supportive responses to this Completed Build, hopefully all the lozenge work won't peel off in the next several months! It still amazes me, how far we've progressed in the past year or so. Products like perfect spoked wheels, authentic appearing lozenge material, and turnbuckles that defy the expectations of all Modellers with their accuracy and appearance take the average model a long way in the final results category. There's so much more authenticity and realism possible in our Hobby now then in the recent past, and your comments are most inspiring; I feel good about the next project. (whatever that may be!) Hopefully we'll all not lose sight of the basics and come to depend too much on the extras available.
I believe the WWI Genre has arrived in the "Big Leagues" of the Model Aircraft Hobby, the trick is to keep it there! Folks like all of you, and the tremendous talents you all demonstrate here on the Forum daily, place the confidence level very high in my mind.
Cheers,
Lance

Sorry that I missed this one before but I have only recently returned. That is one outstanding model with a level of detail that is quite extraordinary. Very many congratulations on a prize winner.
-
Absolutely top notch build Lance. Superb and it's inspired my next.
-
Great stuff, Lance -
Good colour/marking scheme and well weathered all round.
Regards
Dave

Thank You Guys, and Drdave, enjoy that Build, I'll be following closely.
Cheers,

Hi Lance:
Another outstanding job Lance! The subtle weathering, the prop and the wheels really set this off.
I like the looks of the W&W lozenge, but understand and am familiar with the chipping aspects of it, but; you managed to recover and it really looks good.
What's next?
Best
Mark
