Title: Pfalz D.IIIa Eduard 1/48
Post by: xan on February 04, 2020, 10:50:12 PM

Hi I start this model one year ago. Meanwhile I did another model, so I open this topic for the rework of the Pfalz.
this means I have first to do a resume of the build:

I choose to represent this plane:

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/05/31//19053111400023469216258038.jpg)

the pilot Busso von Abensleben was a young of a Saxon lord family:

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/05/31//19053111441623469216258050.jpg)

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/05/31//19053111441523469216258046.jpg)

He flew in Jasta 21.
In June of 1918, the 14th, he shot down a ballon but was shot down too by a french hunter.
He was prisoner and died the day after.
No brillant ace in this story, but the real face of this: death without glory.

The plastic sprues shows tha wings ribbs are very caricaturals and I decade to redo them:

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/06/03//19060311581923469216261406.jpg)

I use first the second pair odf wings given in the box as a test:

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/06/10//19061009193423469216268969.jpg)

as I was happy with the result I applied this technic on the wings:

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/06/13//19061306305023469216272888.jpg)

for the upper wing I took of the tank because it was under the plywood:

Thanks for the summary of how you got here - very impressive photo documentation! Could you explain a little about how you applied the wing ribs -- looks like you used some sort of transfer tape?

Yes I use a plotter (silhouette prtrait) the mask was drawn according to a drawing with studio silhouette software so i was sure the ribs will be propely parallel

Hi Andreas! we are missing you in "la guerre aérienne"!

the wings are mounted

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/09/04//19090410355923469216393543.jpg)

In the Eduard model, the jonction between wings and fuselage is not "soft" enough:

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/09/18//19091805230523469216413864.jpg)

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2019/09/18//19091805221823469216413859.jpg)

I added a lot of surfacer to correct it:

Post by: xan on February 12, 2020, 12:13:13 AM

this is the decoration I choose
Painting time is approching so it is time to do some improvment with paint

About the white:
 it won't be pure white so I tried mixing with blue or beige...
(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2020/02/04//20020410323723469216633402.jpg)

(https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2020/02/05//20020505505523469216634360.jpg)

It will be white with beige...

About the black , there is no black paint in it!!!
I mixed primary colors (yellow red and blue) with a double of blue to reach a blueish black:

Thank you friends!

A friend of mine told me the fuselage cross was too small: Damned he was right!

This is perhaps one of the best 1/48th scale, or maybe any scale, Pfalz DIIIa I have seen! Beautiful!

Nice work on the undercarriage. The tyres are a little on the dark side for my taste, but the bungee chords and rigging look great!

Idid them with tyre black mixed with white.
Anyway it is the first time I do a 14/18 plane with black tyres, but all the Pfalz pics I saw show them very dark

Important moment, the Pfalz is a biiplane at last!!!

That looks great, Xan.  The weathering to tone down both the white and black provides a realistic appearance.
