CSM Pfalz Dr.1
« on: July 08, 2020, 11:54:25 AM »
With all the talk about Triplanes and sure it sparked something within and I pulled this out of the stash . I started this along time ago and it ended up being a shelf queen , but her ruling days over the shelves are over . Both insides of the fuselage halfs are really thinned done and the pit is under construction , it is all scratched built minus the instrument panel which is from the kit . It ended up being a queen when I realize the the forward part of the frame/ fire wall is short . So it's time to get her done !

Terri,
Looks like this will be another "Watch and Learn" opportunity for the rest of us.
Thanks for really mixing things up around here, never a dull moment, that's for sure.

This is a brave decision but I know you have the skills to magic an excellent model out of the very unpromising set of parts.
I've no doubt you'll do better than I did 20 years ago, when I was just glad to get it finished!

You have become a building MACHINE Terri! I will follow along of course! Excellent start with the scratch built interior.

Thank you for digging this little beauty out of the stash, T!  It's so good to see another being built.  You're off to a spectacular start.  I did this one a while back.

Okay , over the past few days it was getting in touch with the subject once again . Also found some of my misplaced info but I still missing some  :o :o :o :o However , this will not stop me . The floor was only tack into place and that has been pop free. Still have the rudder bar to build . The frame work ended up needing a few of the joins re-glued . Over the years getting moved around didn't do it any favors . I really wish I had photos of how much resin was removed on the inside of the fuselage to get to this stage . The fuel and oil tanks I ended up redoing them rather then trying to fix the mishaps . Here is a shot of the frame fitted and the new tanks .

The kit tail planes are to thick and are under scale , but not by much . This will have to be thinned or new ones made .
