Thanks Andreas! After about a Month and a Half I have finally received the Montex mask set for the Pfalz. ( 12 days in New York before sending it on to My Local PO). SO today I might try masking and painting the rudder cross on the Pfalz  I also got the Bren Gun PE for the Roden SSW DIII. A project I intend to do next year!

Just a Note on the masks and for that matter Pheons Pfalz DIIIa set. They went by info from GvW and Osprey on the Jasta 10 markings for  Heldman,s 4117/17.  In fact the aircraft depicted was a DIII as confirmed by Heldmans reports and GvW and the Windsock Data file breakdown of these aircraft by serial #. So use with a Roden DIII and eliminate the "A" from the serial Number

Thanks Terri! This is NO LONGER a DUAL BUILD! I dropped the Pfalz while attempting to paint the Rudder cross. A total loss. Tried repairing the damage but just got worse as each attempt created another problem. No fault of the kit Just Me!

Oh no.  I am so sorry to hear about the Pfalz.   
I was really enjoying seeing it come together and it was a valuable reference for my little scratch one too.  I hope in time it can be recovered.  I'm glad you still have the Nieuport though (my other all time favourite).  It's looking terrific!

[Alexis]

OMG , sorry to hear about the mishap Rick . Is it new struts you need to get her back on track ? .

That's a shame Rick, as the Pfalz was looking so nice.  I feel your pain!  Ah well, onwards and upwards.  Carry on with the Nieuport, and you can circle back on the Pfalz in some fashion later.

Best regards,

Bob

That's aweful. Sorry to hear that Rick. On a lighter side, maybe we could start  a column entitled "Show us your disasters" where we all post pics of this sort of thing?? Regards, Pete in RI

[kensar]

That's too bad, Rick.  It was really coming along nicely.

I'm really sorry about the Pfalz's hard landing, Rick, I suppose, just like the originals, our creations are prone to this! I get used to a certain mortality in my own endeavors... But the Nieuport will make up for it! Regards, Marc.

[Borsos]

Oh what a pity! 

[Bughunter]

This is enough to make you cry!

    Very sorry to hear that Rick. I'd bet that if you just shelve it for a while it will look repairable when you next check it out ....... In the mean time you've got the Nieuport to keep you in good spirits!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks for all of the Condolences Guys and Gal! I really appreciate the thoughts  The Pfalz Won the Battle but in the end I will win the War. No , not on this one but on a replacement kit I hope to purchase in the near future. I love the scheme and want it in My collection! As for the Nieuport I made small progress today and hope to do more tomorrow!

Ugh. I feel your pain, Rick. One of the worst things I've ever done was to try and catch my WNW DH.2 as it fell from the table.
