Tale of two Pfalz

[NigelR]

Those are both looking pretty good to me.  I really like the detail in the DVII cockpit.

Both looking great.

Great job on both P's, Alexis.

Thank you very much gentlemen for having a peak and leaving your comments .

Nigel , there is not a lot of detail in the pit , just very basic side wall details , floor , instrument panel , control column and seat are included in the kit . The seat belts , glad I added them for they do the job by drawing the eye away form the rest of the pit . Surprisingly the the kit engine and the wheels are better detail then what the pit is . I didn't add any detail but a draw back to the engine is the push rods . They have a bend in them with being moulded to rest of the engine and I sure did not feel like removing them for replacements .

You did a great job - my eye was definitely fooled

Hmmmmm , some time sure has lapsed by since a update was made on these builds .

I'm finding these to be very challenging to build in this scale , mobility in my hands has it moments .  have made a fare bit of progress on the DVII . Top wing is mounted and rigging is finished . I used Uschi standard and for the cab struts smoked thread for added strength . Landing fixed in place with only the tail planes left to do . The control horns were replaced with cut ones out of 0.5 card stock after a few of the resin ones binged ! off into the great void of space . Flight controls on the main wing still need to be done but I forget to make the holes for these

The D.IIIa has a bit of progress made , still working on the many rigging with one more side to go .

Nnnice progress!!!

[NigelR]

It's good to see some progress here, they are both coming along nicely. The DVII is looking great, that's a rarely seen subject. Keep going, these will look great when they are done.....
