  1. Thanks for the help! I live in the north of Spain.
  2. Hey all! I'm in the brainstorming phase for the last WnW Pfalz D.IIIa in my stash. I'll definitely be putting a pilot figure in it and will mount it in flying position using a brass or aluminum tube and a wood base. I have an idea that seems interesting in my head, and I'd like to give it a shot. My plan is to mount a small motor inside the engine so I can make the prop spin. I'd also like to mount an LED inside the barrel of a flare pistol to make it look like the pilot is firing the flare. Thing is, I've no idea where to get the motor or LED and no idea how to wire it up. Can one of you guys help me through the steps of how to do this in a plastic model? All I can find online are articles and materials for RC planes. Thanks! -HotWaffle
  3. Absolutely! Thanks! The paints were tamiya XF16 (2 parts) : XF19 (1 part) sprayed over flat black primer. Once all the decalling and weathering was done, I covered it in Mr hobby lacquer semi gloss.
  4. Here are a few shots of my Pfalz. I used Gaspatch guns and turnbuckles as well as Taurus models rocker arms, springs and spark plugs. I did as much of the internal piping as I couldfind space for. This kit itself was fantastic, as per usual with WnW kits, I'm glad I have a few more sitting in the stash. The only parts that needed shaving or filling there the fuselage/lower wing join and the interior frame just in front of the fuel tank. Full Album here WIP thread here Cheers!
  5. Eyelets, turnbuckles and landing gear installed.
  6. Struts are on Ive started making the stand for propping up the back of the airplane. Eventually I'll be making a diorama for this model although it might not happen for a few months.
  7. Applied the last of the oil weathering, flare rack and tail control surfaces.
  8. More oils added. I'll be adding a litte bit more of the starboard side before sealing it all in and starting final construction.
  9. Mud splatters applied to the undersides
  10. I've finally got to my favorite part: Oil weathering! This is the first of many passes with the oils. I tend to add a little bit each day until I'm satisfied.
  11. And much masking was had by all... The decals lifted slightly under a test mask so I ended up using paper to cover the decals: The result: Onto the oils
  12. I've begun shading the rib tapes. The underside tapes will be slightly darker and the upper side tapes slightly lighter. I started by masking the top wing undersides (sorry for the out-of-focusness): After a light coat of tamiya smoke: The effect is very light, as I like all of my shading to be very subtle. Onto the rest of the wings...
  13. Started putting the wash on the smaller bits. I've also come across a problem: the propellor I used (Heine) doesn't fit inside the prop hub. I'm not sure if I'm going to carve the hub until it fits or display it disassembled.
  14. Decals are on and soaking under some mirco sol
  15. Yellow stripes masked: Green was then sprayed and the masks removed.: Again, the edges are a little rough and some cleaning-up will be necessary.
