Hi all...
So have several other downloaded kits that I think I want to practice on/tackle before I get into the Halberstadt or Friedrichschaffen. Those kits look mighty impressive and rather scary!
So these are two I'm thinking of starting after I finish my WNW Dolphin.
One word of caution if you want to try these...especially the downloadable versions! I was looking at my finished D.1 last night
and I really love it...but it looks a tad small to me when I put it next to my Albatros D-I, Snipe etc. Even though it's 1/33rd and not 32nd, it still seemed small. Sure enough, when I measured the wingspan and looked at what the real machine was, I'm about 1.5 inches shy! Bummer but no worthy of chucking it. So my advice would be to play with drafts of your printing until you get the correct span from a down load. In the case of the Pfalz, the designer has a handy scale on the plan and it saved my bacon. I ended up printing it on A4 paper at 109% to get it correct.
So just an FYI for all you aspiring paper card modelers out there...Cheers,
Dan
