After a health problem, I stopped modelling for a short time. I didn't want to continue the projects I had started because I wasn't in the mood for scratch modelling. I wanted to make a quick project - almost oob. Of course with a wooden propeller, because building one is just fun.
Working on two Pfalz D.IIIa (one as a triplane conversion) a long time ago was great fun and there was still a special kit waiting in my stash: a Limited Edition Dual Combo Pfalz D.III. No, I haven't forgotten the "a", this really is the forerunner of the D.IIIa. Eduard has re-released the D.IIIa kit often, but this Edition is from 2005 and was never released again. I hear some voices: Limited Editions are for collecting, not building. Never mind, I'm building the kit now!

I'm building the machine from the cover picture - and because there's a heart on it, I'm dedicating the build to my wife, who always supports me!

John
Looks great!

Nathan Dempsey
Following. Welcome back!

Kyle DeHart
Excellent to see you Frank!! I can't wait to follow along with this. Which is sure to be another beautiful build. Any edition…Limited, or otherwise sounds like something to build to me!! But maybe I'm doing things wrong. Ha!!

Erik
Zum Glück bist Du wieder fit! 👍
Sieht mal wieder klasse aus, die kleinen Steuerseile sind geil. 🙂

Looks like an interesting project Frank. I must admit that I don't know much about WWI aircraft and your builds are often a lesson about the real machines as well as a lesson in modelling.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

gorby
Lovely end result from an ancient kit. More photos would be good.

Robert Podkoński
I fully agree with Gorby!

gorby
Fantastic diorama!

Robert Podkoński

CaptGPF
Agree with Robert! I didn't even know the Concorde flew to Sydney Australia!

beautiful dio

Finally got my hands on this kit. It's been a long hunt, but in the stash it goes. I can't wait to retire and start building daily, like some of you guys do 🙂

Martin Oostrom
Only 20 years before retirement kicks in. So I'll have to make do with weekends and vacations 😢

Bill Newcomer
Nice looking rig. I am 4 years away unless I choose sooner. Not that my wife would approve of the attempt.

Bozzer
My plan of early retirement, went out of the window, when I got married in November. Right now, immigration costs, have set me back, close to £10,000.
Moving my wife from America, to the UK, has been the most stressful task, I've ever undertaken! The drain on my funds, has been immense. But the mental side, has been excruciating. It's a good job, she's a good cook 😉

Congrats on the marriage!

Lol, excellent video of the late, great, Jerry Reed! Kinda reminds me of my ex! (The song, not Jerry!) Hopefully, the little lady will be here by October. The process is very long. It still amazes me, how people pay £15,000 for a rubber dinghy ride, across the channel, to come to this country? Risking their life, just to be turned around?

Martin Oostrom
Well, if I were from Gaza right now and I had the money, I just might go for a 25% chance to make it. Desperate people go for desperate measures.

When I got a photo showing a Pz. I towing a Ju-87, possibly on an airfield in North Africa, I definetely want to build that scenery. The Pz. I is a mix of parts from S-Model Pz. I Ausf. A and B, the Ju-87 is Italeri. I bought some Quickboost add on parts which are designed to fit the Airfix kit, but with slightly modifications they although fit quite well the Italeri kit.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Rui S
I'm in 😎

Dave Flitton
Watching

Tom B.
That´s an interesting combination... watching for sure!

Christian Bruer
Thx to all for looking around 🙂

Nicolas
I'm watching too.

Alec K
I saw (likely) the same photo and also thought it would make a great dio. Glad it will materialize in your capable hands Christian 👍

Lukas Muller
follow 😄

Spanjaard
I am certainly following this one

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for looking around and leaving such kind comments 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it

Christian Lehmann
Na, da bin ich mal gespannt auf das fertige Projekt 👍

Christian Bruer
Still enough place in the first row, welcome aboard Łukasz and Christian 🙂

Christian Bruer
Nearly there, just a few bits and pieces to add before I can start the paintwork.

I got the SSMODEL Pz.I tracks. So far as can be see still in their printing frame they are looking quite nice.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Tom B.
Looking neat so far! Where did you order those 3D parts from? Been curious about those for a while now...

Alec K
Excellent progress Christian 👍. And same question as Tom B.

Christian Bruer
Thank you Tom and Alec. SSMODEL only has a shop at AliExpress. I was a bit hesitant to order there, because there is a lot of rumor about piracy products over there. But once I did not found something similar I want to order from them I registered and ordered at AliExpress. Payment was easy via PayPal and delivery absolutely in time. I also ordered one of the SSMODEL vehicles, Marder III Sd.Kfz.139 SSMODEL 1:72 72725. The details are top notch, but the printing quality in between excellent and poor. The chassis, tracks and single parts are excellent, but the gun mount and gun shield are not so nice. The gun mount is warped and the gun shield has a lot of steps on the inner and outer side. It also differs from the instructions where gun mount and shield are shown as separate parts but it was delivered as a single part. That makes it even more complicated to solve the issues. But I think I will give it a try for another scale 1/72 kit in the future.

Very good work !
Thanks for informations.

Tom B.
Thanks for the reply, Christian 👍 It seems that their shop is one of the reliable outlets, then...nice!

Bernd Grün
It turns out very well, Christian. 👌 Looking with interest for the final result.

Looks like a very interesting project. Exceptionally good work so far!

Excellent painting!

Kyle DeHart
So I decided I would stick this together quickly as I haven't had much bench time. Got this used a while ago. The windshield was missing so I made some window dividers out of styrene rod. Also there's no interior so I just used some styrene cars behind my homemade frames and I'll just black them out. The base is fun and I'll likely just paint it some blues and grays and greens to give that VTTBOTS undersea look.

Kyle DeHart
Finished this one. Fun, different. Nice little kit.

gorby
Nice result.
