Hi friends, here are the pictures of the completed DIIIa of Hans Müller, Jasta 18 May 1918

This is dedicated to the never enough loved memory of Des.

That is a super tribute to Des: he would have really liked that. First class modelling Andonio, and an interesting marking scheme.

Top work Andonio, the Pfalz is such a beautiful airplane. I love the colourful scheme you have done.

I have this kit in the stash and it's not for beginners . It has many challenges and you handled those wonderfully !

Congratulations, Antonio. I remember starting the Blue Max kit but giving up when the original Eduard release came out. The BM plastic was so buttery you had to be incredible careful cutting or sanding anything.
Well done for bringing this to a very colourful conclusion.

Very well done, a tough old model brought to (high) modern standard. Congratulations.

Here I thought that this was a "Blue Max" Pfalz D.III, so when I saw there was no lozenge I realized it was the Blue Max Kit.  Nicely done in the eye catching scheme of Raben.  I remember those kits being a bit of a "Challenge" and this turned to be an excellent build.

Thanks Sandy, Giuseppe, Mark, Ed, Marc, Dave.

@Dave: I don't have plans for my next project, for the time being I will complete the second bird of the Pfalz Duo: the red'n'blue DIII of Hans Burckhard von Buttlar, Jasta 18  Avelin, January 1918.
