Well I do have a bit or room to start this one while the Pfalz is going to be a work in progress on and off . Since this is a straight forward kit and one I have built before . It will be out of the box , nothing overly fancy . What inspired this one was Lance's beautiful Fokker and Marc's ...just something about an all red Tri Decker

Everyone needs a red Triplane

I am looking forward to your build Alexis!

Blimey Alexis,

Slow down.. you’re making me dizzy

So much so... I was calling my Alexa Alexis last night and wondered why it wasn’t working

Thanks Lance

Step in at any time with your feedback

Guy , stop spinning around in circles and you won't be dizzy

Works wonders and I speak with experience

Now what do you mean slow down

However , are you all right ? You seem to be getting folks names mixed up !!!

Looking forward to seeing this one come together Alexis. There does seem to be a swarm of trideckers at the moment.

Danke Frank und Stephen

I had some time today to get started on this . All parts are freed and ready for clean up starting with the cockpit parts . I did break one of the seat supports while removing it

The frame work I'm going to follow everyone else and go with black . I really like how it contrast against the wood and linen

Excellent start, Alexis. That's a cool kit, and does include the little Pour le Merit badge, which you can wear whilst building it

Cheers,
Gary

Alexis,
It's good to see you dive into another WWI build. I haven't had much time for modeling lately.
I'll enjoy the hobby through your build.

This project gets my 100% approval, of course, Alexis! So glad Rick and I got you going on this! I remember building this kit quite a few years ago as a club "Speed build" and I found it easy and well detailed, but I remember breaking those seat supports too! As we all say, you can never have too many red triplanes! Does it come with PE? Regards, Marc.
