With regard to this thread or anyone who has built or will be modelling the DIII or DIIIa, I wonder if anyone has considered modifying the upper-and lower wingtips to their correct appearance regarding 'taper' on same. Full details on this subject in my thread in the archives. Or are people accepting manufacturers 'version' of this?.
Regards,
AL.

Hi Al,
I can't be arsed correcting the washout on the wings, getting the thing complete and in the case is good enough for me!

Cheers,
BVB

I also chose not to correct the geometry. I thought about it for a Nano Second but decided the odds were I would screw up a beautiful wing and throw the kit away

Same here. Maybe if I were in my early 40's and had the time to build one model per year and I intended to build only one Pfalz D.IIIa, then I'd MAYBE give it a try, but as it is, I have two Eduard D.III's, two Eduard D.IIIa's and a WNW D.IIIa, all of which I intend to build in this lifetime.

Bud

I'm back in the saddle with this build.

New Mancave brings new opportunities.

Yes, indeed. New opportunities (to show off the mancave) to restart the Pfalz. Keep on going!

I'll echo the other's sentiments, it's great to see the Bucklebench back in operation! Things look far better with that Panzer Reference properly out of the cave!

Cheers,
Lance

Nice to see the resume of the work here, Von Bob, I repeat what others said better than me!

BTW I really love the slightly yellowish tone of the tyres, which color (or mix) did you use?

Ciao

Thank you, my loyal band of Pfalz-Nuts

AnDonio, I think the yellow tone is down to the white balance (or lack of!) within my basic camera.

Cheers,
BVB

P.S. This build will be my way of slipping back into some kind of plastic tickling groove. The cockpit and engine will be regulation OOTB standard, but effort will be made on the overall paintjob. Above all I'm gonna have me some FUN! No Fear - Just FUN!!!!

I was happy to see the new-postings icon on this thread, Bob. I had missed a few steps while away from the forums; it all looks great.

Looking forward to more,

Chris

Good to see you back at the bench on this one! I am tempted to start my second one soon!
