Dual Build: CSM Nieuport XXIII & Roden Pfalz DIII 1/32nd scale

[RAGIII]

Lovely work, Rick!
Seeing the Pfalz brings back fond memories.

Good luck!

Thanks Bob. Glad you  are looking back Fondly to your beautiful build!

I see you are taking a pragmatic approach with the level of engine detail and the machine guns - smart!  Better to get this done than get bogged down in details that won't matter.

Yes, not seen, Not Modelled  I will add some wiring/piping along with the control wires. Still have to install the panels for the magnito and the control grip and triggers on the stick.

Most excellent work on the Pfalz pit Rick . Nice shade on the fuselage inside walls and frame work as well

Thanks SP. It is a decent kit and will look good with just a few visible details added. It could be made great by going crazy building new frame work and opening panels but that is not My Mission

The final details have been added to the interior. The fuselage , lower wing, and tail plane are assembled bringing this one more or less in line with the Nieuport 23.

Your Pfalz is shaping up wonderfully Rick 

 How was the fit of the lower wing ?


Terri

[RAGIII]

Thanks Terri. The lower wing took some tweaking and will require a little putty and sanding. Nothing near your Triplane build though

Coming together well, Rick.
Will you be adding the walk-way on the port wing? How about the seam tape along the spine of the fuselage?

These are looking fantastic!

Any chance you would part with the 2nd/alternate cowl from the N17 kit? The one with the joins on each side instead of the top?

Thanks Bob. I will certainly add the seam tapes like I did on My DIIIa kits. I will have to find a good photo of the walkway and then probably will add it to the Pfalz.

Absolutely Yes Patrick. I think I have more than one anyway and it is of No use sitting in My Spare parts box

You do set a pace when building models Rick. I am glad that I am not in a race with you - you would win every time. In spite of speed there is no drop in the standard of your models. Bravo!

I don't think they ever will be another one like that .

Nice work indeed, Sir.
