CSM Pfalz Dr.1

[Alexis]

With it being hot and muggie progress is slow at the bench but I'm at the stage now where the framing can get painted . Control column is done minus it's details which can get added afterwards . Seat rails are button up as well with the rest of the framing . I'm glad I did these last . Gave me more room for test fitting . I also made a cushion for the seat out of scrap plastic card with edge pipping and the buttons are HO scale rivet heads . Tail planes got split in two and the rib tape replaced with thin strips of tamiya tape . This will be sealed in with a coat of future .

For the painting of this I'm going to follow WNW call out for the cockpit colours for the Pfalz D.IIIa / D12 . Since this seems to be Pfalz' s standard way on their aircraft types .

I slow down when I'm all hot and muggie, too.  Nice detailing.

It has been very hot here recently Terri - I too loose interest in modelling when the temperatures rocket. You do not seem to have any loss of accuracy in the heat though.

Really like that Terri, was wondering about Tamiya tape for rib tapes and possibly other details.

It's been incredibly hot here too, until we get a return to more typically English weather I won't be getting much done either. We're much more accustomed to rain!

Nice to know that we here in the great white north are the only ones with high heat and slows down . Was able to move forward with the frame painted and the start of painting the details . Lower control cables are installed and the front lower cross bracing . I changed the colour of the seat and went with alum with black leather padding on the inside . Cushion still has bit of weathering . Seat belts are from the spare box . Rudder bar is from the spare box as well , it's more accurate to the Dr.1 . This is from a junk Eduard Roland C.II . The two side panels still need their details with a bit of plumbing for them as well . Still have a fair bit of details to add and make ! But I'm slowly making head way with the build .

Thanks guys for dropping by and leaving support  Richie , I use Tamiya tape for making other details as well . Also works great for seat belts too .
