Title: Pfalz D.XII WnW 1/32
Post by: Jacek on August 15, 2017, 02:50:37 AM: After a short rest (I am resting by making modern fighter jets :D )
I open a new workshop topic. Pfalz D. XII
I'm thinking of doing it in this painting scheme:

At the beginning I started doing engine: Daimler-Mercedes D.IIIau

Original part...

Post by: mgunns on August 15, 2017, 02:08:43 PM: Looking good. Like Lance, one of my favorite German A/C and favorite WNW kits to build. Looking to see how you do the engine. Are you going to leave some panels off to expose your work?

Work on the engine continues, a few details.
At the beginning I painted parts on the black glossy:

Post by: aliluke on August 20, 2017, 06:48:47 PM: Hi Jacek
One day very soon I'll tackle the wiring and other up scale detailing on an engine like you are. What you are doing is an incentive.

I also like that your distributor cap is in a reddish brown. Without actually wiring the engine on my Fokker DVII, I always think of the distributor caps in this colour and did the same for my engine. For me it is the "colour" of Bakelite but I derive that only from working on old cars and with no knowledge of how the caps were coloured on WW1 planes.

I sure look forward to your progress.

Best, Alistair

Wires find everywhere:
piece of antenna cable

old AM antennas on the radio

The stuff in my garage (all computer related) went small, but not that small. Haven't had an AM radio in a while.

Post by: lone modeller on September 03, 2017, 03:55:59 AM: Will you be putting aviation spirit into this engine and then running it up to make sure that it works properly before you put it into the model airframe?

Simply amazing modelling.

I laid the whole piece without cutting the hole, then I cut and bend inwards.

I'm curious about the two taped blades (?) in the last couple of photos, the orange and yellow ones? Are they modified or self made blades for trimming??
Beautifully done so far.

Turnbuckles are only pasted in holes.

Beautiful work, and I really appreciate your answering my questions. I'm at a similar place on my build of the same model.

How did you drill the holes for the rudder and stabilizer rigging? I tried with my smallest bit (.3 mm) and given that the plastic piece is only around .5mm, it was really hard to drill centrally, and the remaining plastic ring was really thin. I ended up cheating and gluing the line behind the attachment and not through it. What size bit did you use, and was it any special kind?

thanks!
