Pfalz D.IIIa, Franz Hailer, Jasta 29, Wingnut Wings 1/32
« on: March 04, 2026, 07:24:28 AM »
The final pictures of the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.IIIa.

This was a kit I had been searching for the longest time - so I'm happy to finally have it built and on my shelf 😄

Did some extra work on the interior adding control lines, modifying the seat and adding extra details to the engine.
For the exterior I cut the engine cowlings and added rivets to make it more visible.
Rigging is 1/48 Gaspatch C-Type turnbuckles and Modelkasten rigging line.
Propeller is Quinta decals.

Hope you enjoy.

Beautiful model, Sir.
Just recently caught up with the build thread and love the effect you've achieved with the paint job. At first I thought you'd sprayed over lozenge. Very effective.
Nice subtle weathering, great engine details.
All in all, excellent result. Congrats.

That is a super model. I especially like the colour scheme and the base sets the model off really well.

A striking colourful model. Great job!

PS. Is this colour scheme confirmed in any way?

Thank you all very much! You are too kind  :)

@PrzemoL - The book "Jasta Colours" shows some pictures where they analyse them and show the yellow nose from the Jasta 29 planes. I got some help from a member on LSP Forum.

Brilliant and inspiring work as always, Ben. The way you have added the subtle weathering to the overall colour really gives it an exceptional and attractive finish.
Cheers,
Gary
