WNW Pfalz D.IIIa
« on: May 28, 2012, 08:22:33 PM »
Inks still dry on this one. WNW Pfalz using their decal set to replicate Hans Bohnings blue Pfalz although its black in the Osprey book and light blue elsewhere.

Engine was tarted up a bit with wiring and I've tried to replicate the Eisfeld flares, gun and chipped windscreen on the starboard side of the aircraft.

The propeller was hand drawn and the rigging was with knit in elastic. I'm not happy with the rigging and I shall go back to fishing line for my future builds/

Thanks for the comments they are appreciated

regarding the exhaust.

Primed with tamiya flat black and then covered lightly with Gunze Dark iron and finally a top coat of Vallejo model air rust which was sprayed over certain areas of the exhaust and thats it nothing else was added.

oh it was all airbrushed

She's really stunning, Gary.  That prop in perfect and your shading is nice and subtle.  As everyone else has said, that blue is very pleasing.  Well done.
Cheers,
Bud

Very impressive Pfalz!

What tubes did you use for braces?

Tubes were brass 0.5mm od .3mm id. The problem I found is that the knit in elastic would only go through the tube once rather than looped which is what I would do with fishing line so some sleeves don't sit quite right over the eyelets.

From a distance it's not so bad :-)

Hope that helps

Great work...will have to try your exhaust paint recipe on my next project...would be keen to learn how you created the brown stain around the wheel hub.  Is it a wash?  Thanks for sharing.

Great work, I love the cleanness about it all, everything is clearly a separate part of the aircraft.
