RAGIII,
That’s a great combination of colors. The Pfalz was one classy looking plane.

That Pfalz is going to be quite the looker, Sir!

Speaking in a purely artistic sense, the silver and deep yellow make a great combination of colors.

The silver finish is just right - not too shiny but just enough sheen. As others have written, yellow and silver make an attractive combination.

Stephen.

The final finish will be just a TAD less silver but should look good...I Hope! I decided I had used a cross with proportions that were too large. Since I was going to have to re do I just went ahead and sprayed the entire tail yellow. Then I ordered a set of Montex Masks that have all I will need for all of the crosses. I hope they don't take too long getting here from Hannants

To meet the minimum I also ordered the Bren Gun PE for the SSW DIII

Thanks for commenting. I have added rib tapes prior to painting the Silbergrau. They will be subtle but that is what I am after.

I still think that the silver finish looks good - although I realise that it is an undercoat. The top coat will be truly striking if this is anything to go by.

Thanks Stephen. I have to add the tapes to the upper wing then we shall see what the final finish looks like $:-\$

As always, another stunner! I like the idea of using silver with the silver grey overcoat. I cannot wait to see the finished product.

Oh, even more progress here with paint involved! The metal look is great.

Thanks Frank! I have finally applied the "Silbergraua". At first I thought I had gone too grey. Next I thought I had not gone "Grey" enough. In the end it compares to My previous Pfalz builds

PS: I forgot to mention I added the foot step/walkway using paper and liquid cement.

Thanks Terri. Another thing I am happy with is the rib tapes. They can be seen but are subtle
