Post by: GB on May 08, 2023, 01:34:55 PM
Been a while since I've postede here - sorry. But thought I'd share my Pfalz D.IIIa build with you.
Eugene Siempelkamp's ride using Aviattic lozenge and Pheon decals. Rigging is Modelkasten with Gaspatch 1/38 turnbuckles with Modelmaster Spandau MGs along with Taurus goodies for the Mercedes D.IIIa engine.

Stunning work, the weathering looks amazing and together with all the details makes an incredibly realistic model.

Wow - fantastic - what an amazing finish and weathering!

Your rigging with the turnbuckles looks great as well - any tips on how you use them? Your work looks a lot better than what I have been able to accomplish with them in the past so always looking to get tips :)

Stunningly beautiful Pfalz!  I love the tonal differences in the colors. Lozenge looks great as well.

Gary - your Pfalz is one of the best D.IIIa's I've seen modelled anywhere. The detail, weathering and all other aspects of it are superb. The scheme is a very attractive one - toned down perfectly to look as realistic as it gets. Well done indeed.
Cheers,
Gary

This is my ideal weathering: she's been through a lot but isn't on the verge of falling apart. Gorgeously done!
