Pfalz D.XII - 1/72nd scale Eastern Express kit
« on: August 18, 2022, 12:37:23 AM »
I decided to start this one simultaneously with my easter egg Spad 13.  I can work on one while the other is in some state of drying.  I'm kinda just slamming this one together.  The colors were mixed to match those called out in the Windsock Datafile.  The lozenge is Americal-Gryphon four color top and bottom.

Outstanding start and a really great camo scheme! I do Love the Old Americal/Gryphon Lozenge!

Blimey Stuart I can't keep up.
It takes me weeks to do a little thing and in the meantime you're the best way to knocking out two new aircraft. Look forward to seeing this one come together  :)

Looking great so far Stuart. Best of luck with the cabane struts, I had very little luck with them myself when I did this kit.

Great start Stuart!  I always wanted to do this scheme. I’ve noticed that Paddinghaus has released new 1/72 decals for this aircraft.
