   Looking good, VB. At least your fuel lines survived the preceding steps. Mine are now in approximately a dozen pieces found at the bottom of the Kit box................I'll be scratching a pair out of lead wire and doing some delicate retro work once the upper wing is permanently installed. Nice work with the apple as well....... I tried a Guinness Can last night but it was too light by the time it got into position............ ::) I'll be applying the glue later today.
   Your choice of colour scheme is very nice, she'll look spectacular once she's back on her feet. .............. looking forward to your next photo(s).
Cheers,
Lance

I was lucky, Lance  :D

I gave my fuel lines a dark brown base coat followed by brass, copper and a splash of aluminium rub n buff. Very happy with the outcome.  ;)

Onwards my friends!

Kind regards

One juicy Apple
One wireless hub for connecting to the interwebby.

I was racked with hunger, but the apple had to stay in place - It's still in place and will be until I flick the office light on in the morning  ::)

Great job, my friend.

Bob,
Excellent detail work! Your build continues to inspire me to take up a Pfalz soon! Too bad mine will be the Roden kit and I don't have your old Drome build to go by  :-[

  ............. great detailing von Pfalzfiddler. I just put the clamps on my rad hose yesterday, thought myself very clever until I saw your pipe connector and cable clamp approach, very clever and beautiful detailing.
Cheers,
Lance

Hi Bob,

Your last photo's simply blew me away. This is a museum worthy build. Well done Herr Riggingmeister.

Kind regards
Patrick

Thanks for your kind words, Patrick  ;)
I doubt very much if this build is museum quality, but I know one thing - It's the best I can do and couple that with the enjoyment of solving minor problems and having you guys watch my back, it's all GOOD!

Thanks all!
Von B
