Eduard Pfalz D.IIIa 8045 Rudolf Berthold
« on: March 12, 2015, 04:10:28 AM »
Almost there, just a little subtle weathering and shading plus softening of the finish to do on this out of the box build with just a few additional scratch built accessories added. It has have taken an age to complete and there are things which could have been better, but am relatively happy with it. Apologies for the photos which like everything else these days were taken using my phone.






Up into the loft now to dig out an Albatros W4 for the group build I think  :-\ or shall I crack open the new Eduard SSW DIII which arrived recently and hasn't made it into the stash yet, decisions decisions  :-\

That is a really superb build - cannot think why you are finding fault with it.

For what it is worth why not join the group build - you have much to offer if this is anything to go by.
