Show us your Pfalz D III / IIIa

[vincentm]

A new bunch of gorgeous Pfalzes!
I'm working at adding mine soon. I thought building three would calm down my appetite for this bird, but I'm also sure I will come back to it one day, there are so many brilliant schemes.

I'll add my old 1/48 attempt at Holtzem's DIIIa to the party.

Sandy, old she may be, but she's no less lovely for it.
Cheers,

Bud, thank you again mate, for all the kind comments. S

[vincentm]

I agree, a beautiful one. Very nice details and painting.

And now my go. Here are two Pfalzes, a D-III (Rudolf Stark, 4064/17, Jasta 34b, lilac fuselage band and spinner) and a D-IIIa (Hans-Georg von der Marwitz, Jasta 30, orange diamonds), under repair in a remote maintenance unit. 1/72 MAC Distribution kits, Roden props and engines, Eduard seatbelts and Spandaus, Brengun PE tools, Orion figure, home-printed decals and lots of small bits and pieces made of plastic, wood, copper, rolling papers, aluminum etc.

Well I just commented in your build thread saying the scene/Diorama "Would" be outstanding. Now I see it is actually finished.... I was wrong, NOT outstanding, it is AMAZING! Looks like a very well done diorama in a MUCH LARGER scale!

I agree completely with my amigo, Vincent!  Superb in every way.

Vincent, the diorama is absolutely superb!  A terrific idea brought
to life by your considerable modeling talent.  Thank you for sharing
your vision.

Cheers,
Ernie

Really excellent implemented.
Very well built, the diorama gives the impression that it lives.

.................. love the poster on the wooden hangar wall 

[vincentm]

Thank you all. In my opinion, this kind of little scene is exactly what 1/72 is for. The models are not as big and finely detailed as WNW's but you can add a lot of life around.

About the Mata-Hari poster: months before I started this dio, I found this pic of her in a History magazine and I just loved it, I understood at once why she was so popular at this time. I thought I could use it maybe in a diorama by printing a scale bill. Then I had the idea of the dio when I found there was an optional D-III fuselage in the MAC D-IIIa box...The 2 ideas eventually gathered.

I thought it was about time I added my Pfalz to this topic. The build link is included:
