Title: WnW Pfalz D.IIIa
Post by: slateman on June 12, 2019, 07:56:19 PM

Hi all, this is my 1st WWI and aircraft model kit. I used some Modelkasten figures for the dio. Looking forward to your feedback :-)

At this point I really have to thank The Red Baron again for sending me replacement decals for the upper wing after accidentially submersing it in CA glue :-)

Now that is one very fine model with some very striking markings. The figure and groundwork really set this off - many congratulations. And BTW please do post more of your models!

Stephen.

Looks like a great model. Congratulations.
The presentation, however very attractive, does not help to admire the model. A couple of ordinary shots with close-ups would do better, IMHO.

Great work on the model - and very nicely displayed.
Cheers,

   A beautiful rendition of what has to be one of the most attractive schemes for this aircraft. Nicely done and a model to be proud of. 8) 8) 8)

Thank you all :-)

Yes, it‘d be another aspect to see the rough photos. Thing is I took them outside on the back of our house and would let nothing distracting from the model itself. So this summary of pictures (layout) IMHO gives a better overview of the model/dio.
For your understanding: As I started this hobby a few years back I‘d set for a more or less constant presentation style that I kept unchanged for all forums that I am active in.

@PrzemoL
Usually I do more Layouts with more in depths photos for my builds but wanted to keep it short this tine because of time constraints. If I do more I‘ll share it here.
