Roden 1/32 Siemens Schuckert DIII
« on: December 11, 2013, 11:41:34 AM »
Been working on and off on this for years - had build threads going on two other forums but one is closed down and I do not really post at the other - been on the "shelf of doom" now for quite awhile. Dusted it off, fixed some problems with the paint and shot a new coat of semi gloss clear on it and am going to take another shot at finishing it up.



Heres a couple old pics from before I sealed up the fuselage:

A nice looking build! Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I seem to remember the gold crown decal from a build log. Whos lozenge is on the wings?

Hi RAGIII - the lozenge is Doug Baumans that he had put up on the Aerodrome - I used that to create my own "templated" decals that I printed on my laser printer:

prepping for the rigging is well underway this evening - starting with gaspatch turnbuckles and eyelets to attach them

Hello Petrov:

Been awhile since I have seen one of these on the forums.  I am looking forward to see how you proceed with this.  The lozenge looks good.  I have some of Dougs Lozenge, just haven't used any yet.  The cockpit looks pretty cool as well. 
Best

This build comes at an extremely timely moment, as i am preparing to start my own build. Pheon's decals are very nice, like the lozenge you used.

Wow!  You have a really good looking aeroplane going there.  Nice work on
the interior and the decals look great.  I'm glad you decided to carry on with
this model and look forward to more updates.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Beautiful Build Petrov, great colour scheme and the interior is a joy to view.  I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a deal on this Kit, have the Pheon Sheet and a "plan" however it's a future project. :-\
Cheers,
Lance

Gorgeous, Petrov!  I remember this baby from the 'drome.  Really enjoyed following along until I got booted.  I'm glad you decided to finish her.
Cheers,
Bud
