Wow!! Suddenly a Pfalz. Great work and like everyone - love that scheme!! I had completely forgotten about poly scale. Some are asking $22 a bottle on ebay - crazy!!! Paint collectors??!!

Both of your builds here are shaoping up nicely, Rick. The Silver-Grey on your Pfalz is spot on. A tough colour to get, and you've nailed it.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks Steve. I still have about 20 bottles of Polyscale and as Many of Floquil/ Aeromaster. Maybe I can trade them for a WNW kit

Thanks Gary. I had a Tin of Xtra color Silbergrau gloss enamel I would have loved to use but didn't have a thinner that agreed with it. If anyone knows what commercial thinner works such as "Mineral Spirits" let me know as I have other colors I might use in the future.

A small update on the Pfalz. I have added the prop. spinner and gear. I also have started a bit of the weathering ( light oil washes so far on one side. Lots More to do.

I can see the subtle weathering on the port side. Nice!! Shows where the pilot enters and exits.

It’s with airplanes like it is with children: it’s amazing when they stand on their own legs

Great job!

You have built two amazing looking aircraft Rick. I certainly like both the colour schemes you have chosen, but I must say that the Pfalz is my favorite!

Thanks Steve. Yes that is one place I have done just a "Tad" of weathering. I also did a bit around the access hatches.

Thanks Willem. Right now I too favor the Pfalz. We shall see how it goes from here

These arrived from Poland today:

Thanks Buzby/ Artur. Funny thing here is that My Amigo Ed mailed some Roden crosses on the same Day from inside the US....and they haven't made it yet

Both of your birds are looking excellent, Rick. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that no 'incidents' happen.

Nice work - you have a factory going!! You've inspired me to pick up on my WNW Pup I started long ago. I love your energy and output of great models and want to REALLY take part in this forum. Thanks for the kick in the pants!!

I agree with Ken: both models look first class - and I am not writing more so as not to encourage any gremlins!

Beautimous Rick! Love your Silbergrau and I do love that series of books. I'll have to get your mix for that yellow one day.
