WNW Pfalz DIIIa - Unknown MFJ
« on: March 06, 2014, 06:30:22 AM »
    I finished this yesterday, a superb Kit all around. Additions include After Market Decals from Wingnut Wings, Lozenge from Wood and Wire, HGW Seatbelts, Taurus Engine details, Czech Master Spandaus, and spoked wheels from the Spoked Wheel Shop, Steven Robson. The cockpit is a "full build" including flight control rigging, and Airscale and Aeroclub Instruments and bezels.The prop is my own hand laminated and carved Axial. Last, the rigging accessories are from Bob's Buckles and Gaspatch, mono is variously .012 to .015 mm.
   Here's a bunch of photos of Her starting with a few different aspects:















Some closer detail........................



Anemometer and weathering/wear around cockpit entry.........



Engine and cowling details.............











Cockpit area.........









.....and some bottom shots.....













    And that's all she has to offer. Wonderful Kit and a pleasure to build. Hope you enjoy Her!
Cheers,
Lance

She is absolutely gorgeous Lance, a superb build and an immaculate finish, your propeller is a testament to your excellent modeling skills. The scheme you chose is extremely eye-catching and really makes the model stand out, the seat belt hanging over the fuselage is a great touch. Congratulations Lance on producing a world class model of a beautiful aeroplane.

As I have said in the Under Construction section - this is a fantastic model in its every aspect! You should be truly proud of it.

You've created a beautiful Pfalz Lance!  The MJF colors are very sharp, and I particularly like the look of the lozenge on the wings.  ;D  Great job!

Regards,

Bob
