With the SSW coming close to an end . I always seem to have at least one detailing project on the go while most others are out of the box ( mostly )
Gregory sent me this kit a few years back with a couple of others . He would bug me every now and then on starting this project . But never seemed to have the time on getting the kit started .
The Eduard parts are the spares in their dual limited Pfalz D.III . The wing root area on the vac kit is totally wrong and needed to be corrected . Top wing I will use it's pretty close to Eduards with wing rib s and such , every thing else will be left over parts or scratch built .
More as I get going on this one .

Terri,
I am looking forward to this one! I once owned one of those kits, and also the resin version Never got around to building them before I chucked them after Edward released theirs... :-[

Hey Dan , always nice to have a bit company . What do you plan on building ? I watched your pup build on hyperscale , well done !
Terri

Quite a challenge Terri............not unusual for you! Should be interesting following your progress on this one. Any thoughts on colour scheme yet?
Cheers,

Hey Lance !
I'm thinking of a Jasta 30 machine Oblt Hans Bethge 5888/17 or Ltn Freiderr Von Der Horst 5947/17 ;D
Will be following your build Dan ;)

Now that the SSW is finished abd the Fokker for the GB is going to be out of the box , work will begin on this kit . ;)
Terri

Excellent Terri, I have been waiting for you to make a start on this kit.

Terri, this promises to be a fun and for someone that has never attempted
a Vac model, very informative build. Looking forward to the "lessons". :)
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Do you really understand the meaning of OOB Terri? You know I don't.
Simple isnt something you do, never have and I bet never will. No one rises to a challenge (and perseveres) like you do. Lets see you TERRIfy this kit into a gem.

Thanks Des , Ernie and Keith .
This is not going to be a fast build . Lot's of work is needed on the fuselage halves and incorporating the lower wing from the D.IIIa kit with the pointed tips .
There are no panel lines on the fuselage so this will be filled and the access hatches will also be sanded off and replaced with either punch disc out of plastic card or PE parts from the parts pin providing I have enough . So before any frame work can begin mating of these parts needs to come first .
The halves are cut from the sheet and are the only vac parts being used ..

Watching intently, Terri. One question...when you sand
off the access hatches, etc., is there any plastic left to
build on, or do you have to shore it up from the inside?
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Nice to see your first steps Terri.
I have three vacu kits ( Abatros C V, AEG G4 and Brandenburg W 29)

Oooo a vac formed Pfalz! This will be educational to say the least as I've never tackled one. I'm looking forward to following along Terri.
Cheers,
Chris
-
A nice start Terri, it will be interesting to see how you tackle the access hatches, I'm sure their replacements will look extra good.
Des.

Thanks guy's for checking in and leaving your kind comments . :)
Ernie , once they are sanding away there will small opens but these will be enlarged in case I want to have them open .

While I was setting up my new hobby room I came across stuff I totally forgot about do to loss of interest . This one is from two years ago and has surfaced to the work bench once more for a winter project . I'm making no guaranty that this will get finished , it could end up being the queen once again .

Terri,
Not meaning to bug you of coarse but glad to read you may be restarting this long sleeping project. All the best one way or another my old friend.
Highest Regards,

I did likewise to the vac but still have a resin one laying around, so Terri you are very brave to tackle this one !

Thanks Ed and Gregory for dropping by , gives me encouragement on cutting up some parts :)
Gregory , I got this kit from along time ago now ;)
Terri

Will not be finishing this build . A friend of my wanted the kit so I let him have it . It was given to me so why not pass on the krama .
