Gary,
I must post again after seeing the engine and pit. Simply gorgeous Mercedes! Thanks for taking the plunge on the build thread.

Great Pfalz's!  :) I am deeply impressed by your striking overall finish, they are really masterpieces!

Manni, Bob, Rick & Borsos - thanks for your comments! I was hoping to get them finished for our big Edmonton show last weekend, but family commitments come first. I hope to post some updates soon after finishing the tedious job of putting rib tapes on the D.XII wings.
Cheers,
Gary

A small bit of progress to report from my last post. Hopefully I can be attaching the wings and manage the rigging on both soon!





Cheers,
Gary

Late to the party, Gary.  Man...those are lovely.  Subtle and yet such distinct depth.  Super models. 

I agree...two of my favorite WWI jobs!  Thanks for sharing.

Both looking very nice Gary. I see you've opted for the full edge tapes on the lozenge of the D.XII, I found full, partial, and "None" finishes in the hundreds of photos so opted for leading edges and tips only on mine, still not sure what to do on the elevators. I really like that subdued blue on the tail, nicely done!

The Pfalz twins are just superb, Gary!  Your paint work and decaling are flawless...
I love the blue on the D.XII.  I am completely enjoying the build and will certainly
be using it for inspiration when I get to my D.XII.  Great stuff, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Gary,

marvellous, both of them. A question on the D.IIIa, if i may: the red fuselage stripe has to small stripes left and right of it - what colour are those supposed to be? Silbergrau (as in "original fuselage colour") or white? There is a strong difference towards the white part of the Balkenkreuz, which confuses me...

These are looking absolutely amazing, Gary!  Can't wait to see the top wings on.

Thanks so much to all who have commented!

Lance - I've re-sprayed the blue a couple of times since you saw it at the Edmonton show since I just wasn't happy with it.

Thanks Stefan. To answer your question, the lighter coloured stripes on either side of the red is silbergrau, as you'd guessed. I masked and spray painted the stripes as opposed to using the decals provided.
Cheers,
Gary

Simply WOW.

  Curious.  Which paint and clear finish did you use?
