Title: WNW pfalzDIIIa in Pheon Aloys Heldmanns scheme
Post by: drdave on March 11, 2014, 07:19:04 AM

Just fancied a quickie. Started this about 10 days ago. The interior is bog standar and I only paid attention to the top of the engine using alclad shades.

Great! Fine colour scheme, fantastic kit and the most beautiful WW1 fighter. One cannot ask for more.

Very nice work with a fantastic choice of a scheme. What did you use for the silbergrau?

Wonderful work, Dave!  I can't even think of getting such beautiful results in such
a short time. The paint scheme is very attractive as well.  Thanks for sharing and I
look forward to more photos.  Well done!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

So were in the home straight now. Turnbuckles and weathering done. Just needs top wing and rigging. The colour is a 50/50 tamiya grey and silver I mixed, buffed with micro mesh. The exhaust is alclad shades. I used a chrome yellow over chrome on the nose then buffed some off.
I use oils for my props but I don't laminate as I can't get it to look scale, for me.

   Very VERY nice Dave! For a "quickee" She certainly is impressive. I'll have a look at Her on the Completed Thread and comment some more. For now, can you share the Name/brand/ source of your grass matting on the Base, it's something I keep wanting to get and keep putting off.............
Cheers,
Lance

She's truly gorgeous, Dave.  Remarkable for a quickie.  I really like the grass mat, too.  Where did you get it?
Cheers,
Bud

Beautiful Pfalz, Dave!  I can't get what a great job you have done, and so quickly.
A superb model all around.  Nicely done!

Cheers,
