Thanks for checking her out guys and the kind comments  :) Cooler weather is coming so progress should be smoother sailing . In the mean time I'll keep planning out the next stage of details .

Hey Carl , yes she is cool and one of my favorite Pfalz aircraft , but their was only 12 built and flown more for home defence problems with the rotor engine slowed it's progress in deleveloping further - ending in losing the Contract to Fokker's Dr.1

As far as I know CSM is the only one who has it in 48 scale  . Their is a few 72 scale kits but I can't recall them . A few years back Aviatik was planing on releasing in 32 scale , but nothing came of it . I hope CSM releasing this kit but as a new tooled one .

Weather is starting to behave and it's a lot cooler outside ! Was actually enjoyable sitting , relaxing , working away !

The control column flight controls are done as well as the rudder bar . While starting to paint those details my paint brush rubbed against the instrument panel leaving a nice black line . Trying to clean it off quickly was an epic fail . So the base colour has been replied . Glad I did have the instruments already in place and it's other details . I'm not happy with the hand grips or the cables for the gun triggers and trottle and will redo these again .

Terri, that is a great interior! Really a pity that you will hardly see anything of it anymore.

I didn’t know Pfalz made a tripe.
Not only this Dr.I, they tried also to convert a D.IIIa into a triplane, which I built some time ago:

Ken is right - very tidy assembly. Shame about the paint on the instrument panel though - seems that we cannot build a model without something going pear-shaped!

When I get my building time to fixing screw ups time ratio down to one to one, I will consider myself an accomplished modeler.

Thanks Ken and Stephen  :)

SP , those screw ups make us an accomplished modelers  ;)


When trying to remove the PE hand grip and cables for the guns the control column ended breaking in four places ....so a new one was fashioned up and the cables for the guns replaced as well . Back on track now even though I made no progress .

Definitely a case of "I'm back to as far behind as I was when I started to really get behind". My usual place about half way through any given model.

Your rate of progress, even with screw-ups, is still infinitely faster than mine Terri. Still very fine modelling though.
