elmarriachi Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 One more amazing kit from Wingnut Wings - this time the Pfalz D.IIIa will be the next World War I airplane on my desk. I have started with the interior as always. All later wooden parts were painted in a light beige first with the airbrush, then oil colors followed next to make the final wooden effect. On the inside of the hull the skewed wooden slats werde each separately painted with a cotton bud then ... [ Now I wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The1971Show Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Yuss! I love these planes! I tried building the Roden 1:72 kit once, and I ended up with three of the Eduard 1:48 kits... I guess acquiring the WNW kit and decals for Degelow or another Jasta 40 machine is a foregone conclusion... Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 The Mercedes D.III engine put together, then added some wiring. After that started with the painting of the engine in black, aluminium and then the details with a fine brush.... A first step of weathering was done with oil colors....

Jan_K Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Nice engine, I recommend to check the interior colour once again. I think Pfalz fuselages were made of veneer strips glued together and reinforced with fabric layers, also covered by fabric from inside and outside.

elmarriachi Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hello. I have painted the outside of the Pfalz now. After a grey primer I have sprayed the front area in red, which I have mixed from several red tones from Lifecolor. Once dry I have masked it and sprayed Tamiya blue on the rest. The underside of the fuselage and the wings is neutral grey with a few drops of Aluminium. Next follow the decals, detail painting, the rips of the wings, oil color matt clear coat ....

elmarriachi Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hello, the decals of the airplane of Robert Berthold are done, a layer with clear coat fixed the decals and secure it for the weathering. A layer of black/brown oil color on everything followed, wiped away with a cloath after a few minutes. The rips of the wings were lightened with white pastells, then a layer of matt clear coat followed on everything ...

elmarriachi Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hello, after the mounting of the upper wing I have added the pipework between engine and wing, then started the rigging. The turnbuckles are from Gaspatch Models and glued in drilled holes. Once dry I have glued EZ-Line through the turnbuckles, stretched it and glued it in place. Some adjustment of the turnbuckles will follow. Next I will add the landing gear and the propeller ... Cheers Micha MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
