Title: SSW D III early (old Eduard kit)
Post by: radio on January 11, 2015, 03:58:19 AM

The next will be a conversation from the old Eduard kit to an early model.
It is the plane from Lt Joachim von Ziegesar Jasta 15.
Aditional come the engine from Karaya, decals from Aviattic and Pheon.

I see you are not going to use the amazing handy dandy million and one fold PE interior. Good plan; I remember fighting that thing tooth and nail before finally getting it into the fuelage. I had been out of modelling for about fifteen years when I saw this kit in a store. I've always like the SSW D.III/IV because it looks like a beer keg with wings, so I bought it. Probably not the best kit to discover the joys of PE on. But I managed to get it built.

Ok Stefan you are right, but I think there is no other way to open the Ventilation. At last it will be sanded.

Hi Martin  ,

Opening up the gills on the chin pan is not an easy task . I did my by thinning down the inside so the area was only 1mm in thickness . Calipers are for handy for this for measuring the thickness as you go . Digital ones are even better .

I opened them up using a scribing tool and finishing with a #11 . At this stage the plastic is very thing and easy damaged .

Has cut out of 0.2 mm plasticcard the new covers for the engine ventilation, has raised and has slurred.
I have raised the brown tone as a tonic, afterwards have attached the decals, as well as on the wheels.

Martin, you have a gorgeous model there.  Well done on the
rib tapes.  She looks terrific with the wings in place, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Martin,
    This one really came together quickly and very nicely at the end. I really like your interpretation of the blue on the fuselage, I think it looks far more realistic then the darker shade on most illustrations. Nicely done!
Cheers,
Lance

Lance thank you for your positive comment.
I use the Gotha blue from Misterkit. I think it comes near the skin from Pheon Decals.

Although a bit "upside-down" :-D it indeed appears as a fantastic model, can't wait to seeing it on its legs!!!
