Author Topic: WNW Salmson 2A2/Aviattic figures: WNW Pfalz DIIIa Jasta 4 (Read 93857 times)

RAGIII · « **on:** August 28, 2015, 03:44:16 AM »

I am moving right along with a new build. I will do another Dual Build this time using the WNW Salmson 2A2 USAS using Pheon Decals and hopefully the Aviattic USAS figures. I will also add a WNW Pfalz DIIIa in Jasta 4 markings. I will start by posting the Salmson box photo.

I have started in the usual manner by working on the wood portions of the interior. I will post photos when I am far enough along to warrant them.

This will be great to watch you build, Rick! We don't see too many Salmsons lately.

Rick, I'll be there, following your build! I love both, the Salmson as well as the Pfalz DIIIa! Good luck!

Rick,
I'm so looking forward to your surely outstanding USAS Salmson thread my old friend.I've had the same kit waiting for it turn at the bench since this one was first issued by WNW's . So I'll be stealing tips and ideas from you once again.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Great to see another Salmson being built, there has not been very many of them posted on the forum. Looking forward to seeing you start on this one Rick.

Des.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support and interest! Here is a shot of the Aviattic figures and as soon as I find it the Pheon decal sheet!

Bud,
I have narrowed it down to scheme 1: 24th Aero Sq. Eagle and Daschund Motif), or scheme 3: 99th Aero Sq. ( Seven Up Dice Motif)

Rick,

Are you planning on swapping out the heads of those figures for Hornet heads?

MOSI

Michael,
I have no plans for a head swap. If I had your talent perhaps

Well Bud, since you like it I will go with the Roll of the Dice and do the Eagle and Dog

By the way, I am looking at two different approaches to the Pfalz: Either a known scheme in overall sibergrau with the black striping on the tail, or a generic Jasta 4 bird with Lozenge wings and no personal markings. ( Would give me a chance and reason to order the Aviattic Pfalz wing lozenge )

I strongly support the "generic" choice of subject, just to see you working with the Pfalz-specific lozenge decals.

This is great news, Rick! I will be avidly following the Salmson build
for helpful hints when I attempt mine. Yours will be a dandy one to
watch. Enjoy this and the Pfalz, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie

I have been working on the BASIC interior including floor and side panels. Still a lot of detailing and washes to go but this is the beginning:
