With the DR1 builds moving along I decided to a little work on the Pfalz. I added the access ports using Toms Model Works PE.

PS: Does anyone have a clear photo of the walkway mentioned by Von Buckles?

RAGIII,
The build is looking great.
I think the walkway is illustrated pretty well in the Wingnut Wings Pfalz DIIIa instructions.

These are looking great and they are beautiful reference shots fir two smaller ones that I am building at the moment.  I ran into a similar conundrum with the starboard gun on the Pfalz.  Is it worth test fitting the exhausts to ensure they will have an uninterrupted fit?

That looks super Rick. Glad to see that you are giving these some attention again. I suspect that you will be finishing four models almost simultaneously .

I have been following your 1/144th builds and they are awesome! As for the exhaust fit, probably needs some tweaking but test fits show promise. I have a photo in the windsock Data File that shows a Captured DIII from the right rear. It looks as though there is an upward angle to the exhaust Not really pronounced but it is there.

Thanks Stephen. Finishing all four at the same "General" time is the Plan  ::)
