KP 1/72 Pfalz D.II
« on: June 28, 2022, 05:50:40 AM »
 KP 1/72 Pfalz (Roland) D.II.  I deleted the tail skid fairing but otherwise a straight out of the box build.  The colors used were a bit darker than I desired.  Green was Vallejo Russian green. Red brown was from AK interactive WW1 German red brown.  Underside was XF23 light blue

Despite some of the minor differences between the versions many were not enough for me to change.  Due to it's design it was one of the easier models to attach the top wing. The zig zag decal would not cooperate with me so I built it as a generic model

From what I have read the fuselage is the correct length for the Roland D.IIa. This was also one of the easier models to rig.  I will build more someday with a few corrections. Other than my decal mishap this was a pleasant build

Nice work RVW! I have to admit I knew nothing of the Pfalz D.II so it's cool to learn of it with such a nice model.

Thanks for the selection of photos.  I had been planning to work with a Merlin Pfalz D-II first, and then graduating to the (expected) higher-quality KP product, but this one looks so good....  I have resolved to use the detailed info about the various versions from Dave's review of the KP kits. 

I while back I inherited an Airfix Hanover kit that had a photocopy of the notes from an IPMS/UK article from many many years ago inside.  Now I know that those notes aren't the last word for the Hanover, but I love the idea of copying off corrective notes and packing them into the model box.

Thanks everyone.  The Roland D.IIa used an Argus engine and I may have one from another kit.  A project for the future.
