Pfalz D.XII WnW 1/32

[Jacek]

After a short rest (I am resting by making modern fighter jets  )
I open a new workshop topic.  Pfalz D. XII
I'm thinking of doing it in this painting scheme:



At the beginning I started doing engine:  Daimler-Mercedes D.IIIau

Original part...


...and my amendments :





In this way, I did a tap:

Still ahead of me a few hours working on the engine

Incredible work on the engine.  I'm looking forward to watching your build.  I'm working on the same model, but at a very different place in terms of skill set and comfort making modifications.

Looks like another one of your super detailed masterpieces underway Jacek, great start! One of my most enjoyed of the Wingnut Wings Kits, I look forward to following this Build Log.
Cheers,

Looking good.  Like Lance, one of my favorite German A/C and favorite WNW kits to build.  Looking to see how you do the engine.  Are you going to leave some panels off to expose your work?

Are you going to leave some panels off to expose your work?

I think so, it depends on how the engine looks

Very nice. I just pulled this out of the stash on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing more. Its inspiring so far.

Thank you all for your kind words.
Work on the engine continues, a few details.
At the beginning I painted parts on the black glossy:



The next step:



Electric wires for spark plug:

Hi Jacek - beautiful work!  where did you find small enough diameter wire for the spark plugs?

thanks!

Looking fantastic! I also like the engine painting. The wiring harness will be very realistic once installed on the engine!!

Hi Jacek
One day very soon I'll tackle the wiring and other up scale detailing on an engine like you are. What you are doing is an incentive.

I also like that your distributor cap is in a reddish brown. Without actually wiring the engine on my Fokker DVII, I always think of the distributor caps in this colour and did the same for my engine. For me it is the "colour" of Bakelite but I derive that only from working on old cars and with no knowledge of how the caps were coloured on WW1 planes.

I sure look forward to your progress.

Best, Alistair
