Such a good looking model. With the colour it looks really clean and looks all of a piece.
Bye,

Thank you, Manny!  As with all Pfalz, it is an attractive aircraft.
Cheers,
Bud

Lovely work! :)
Surely this was the best looking triplane? (Though my personal favourite is the Sopwith)
If I had to choose, I think I'd prefer the D.VIII in 1:32, having a little more variety of schemes, but this one would be quite popular - weren't Aviattic hinting at doing it next after the Balilla? I could have sworn they showed off a 'prototype' a while back, or maybe I was imagining it.

Hopefully your very nice build will encourage CSM to update the kit.

Many thanks, gentlemen! I think damned near every German and Austro-Hungarian aircraft manufacturer got caught up in the triplane craze.
Yes, Mark, I would love to see someone, anyone, do a D.VIII.  Lone Star has been promising one for quite a while now.  And a Dr.I from Aviattic would be a real treat.  We can only hoped.
Cheers,
Bud
