Wow, what a display area. Thx for posting Stephen. Is that all of your builds or have you more elsewhere? I remember seeing your Staaken dio, that must be too big for those display cases. Where do you keep that sucker?

A couple of progress pics. All of the struts are on place. Glued on all of the control surfaces. I finished up the guns but I will wait until I dullcoat the whole thing before installing them. The wheels and prop are not glued yet. I just installed them fot the photo. I think I can finally see thelight at the end of the tunnel.

Scott, the Pfalz is coming along great. That and the Albatros have to be my fav WW1 subjects, yet least modelled by me.

Crusher, shes looking mighty fine Buddy. I love the colour scheme. The yellow and the streaking really look sharp.

Stephen thx for the pic. Is that a spare room you have set by for just your models? It looks like quite a size.

Thanks for the pic Stephen. You are a lucky man to have such a huge display area and to be able to display them there.

Mobius, Frank, and Luftwoller,

Thanks for the comments on the Pfalz, and the congatulations for my son.  My how quickly nineteem years can pass.  Anyway, I am doing some business travel for teh next few days, so there will be no progress until the weekend.  I did get the fuselage together, the lower wing mounted, and paint applied to all undersides.  I have to touch up the bottom of the lower wing due to a small bad spot caused by my sealing coat.

Stephen,

Thanks for that link (again).  I received a new computer recently, and had lost that from my favorites.

Hi all, as some of you may know i recently had a birhtday (40th Ssshhhh) 1 Of the prezzys i got was this beauty.

I have to admit it got my juices flowing right from opening the wrapping. The box itself is fab. Its more solid than almost every other manufaturer ive come across. It looks and feels expensive.

On opening the thing theres loads of sprues full of awesome detail. One of the things that i spotted and liked straight off was the rib detail on the wings. Even the finish of the wing is fabric like,

The instruction booklet is equally impressive, a veritable tome it is too,

Every sheet is a full A4 glossy wonder. Here are a couple of pages,

The decal sheet is great too. All by Cartograph and in perfect register. Looks like there will be plenty left for the spares box,

They also supply a miniscule PE fret, which has to be the largest ommision of the whole kit. The kit is 1/32 and most of the small pieces can be easily molded in styrene but one of the things that sticks out (Litterally) as missing are the MG jackets. I think that to do this kit justice it really needs some PE MG jackets. Mmm, now where do i find some of those.

I hope you dont mind this little indulgence. But as you can prolly tell. I like this kit.

Frank and all,

I made some reasonable progress over the weekend and last evening.  I have now painted the aluminum underside, red engine area and braces, and the initial lighter blue color on everything else.  I will see how much damage I do in removing my masking material, and will hopefully mask and spray the darker blue tonight or tomorrow, after which I will complete the assembly process.  I am taking some time off next week with the holiday, so I will shoot for completion photographs by July 6 (my first big bike ride event of the year is this Sunday  or I would give a quicker end date).

Very impressive there Stephen. I have never seen a D I in streaked camo. Probally because it is just to tempting to paint the whole thing red. I know I would! The streaked camo decals look great. I whish I had them for my D VII. I would have been done months ago. I put the Fokker on the back burner agian for a bit while I played around with some new NMF paint product I bought but I think I am going to finsh here off by the end of the week.
