I normally like to do camouflage, but that’s only an attempt to avoid the full horror of trying to make a single colour ...

Welcome to the build mates.
Kesa: Sillier the better for me. I go out of my way to find odd things to build. 🙂

I love the armoured cars and Gorbs' projects - I have to watch this too 👍

I often winder how you choose your next topic for scratch builds! The subject matter is always something different or interesting - and the builds just phenomenal! Taking a seat to see the next creation!

Oh, this is cool. I scratch-built an armoured car too - nothing this intense though - so I'm super-keen to see this one shape up.

Thanks both. 👍
Capt: for this one I went looking for something Norwegian, because that was the subject of the GB for Jens. It had to be something I'd be able to scratch build (as I was too tight to open my wallet to buy something. 😄 ). Normally it's because I just stumble on an interesting picture. 🙂

Build stage is now complete, just need to get the crayons out to colour it in. 😉

Soon it'll be a silly, moderately angry grey truck. 🙂
Thanks for your comments mates. 👍

Teabag-proof is a bit of a stretch. I suspect the insurance would have been void if they drove past Tetley's.
I'm currently making a pigs-ear of the weathering. No change there then. 😄
Thanks Alec. 👍

I'm not one of those people who claim to have a remarkable super-power...the ability to know what colour something is in a black and white photo. I haven't found anywhere which mentions what colour it was, so I'm going grey. Actually most of my hair fell out before I went grey but that's probably down to living with a daughter all those years ago. 😄
Oh yes, grey. I used Tamiya XF-87 as I thought that would be the most actuate shade of grey for something I know nothing about. Or it could equally be that I've got a lot of XF-87. Seems like a good enough reason to me.
I hope to get the completed pics posted at the weekend.

Thankss Robert! This model occured to be quite problematic. Especially the tracka - they do not fit the front wheels and need adjustement (it will be visible on one of the photos).

Jakub, the construction progress so far looks very good.
Maybe you'll find a liking in WWI models. 😉

Thank you, mates!
Ludvíku, i must say, that i am enjoing it so far. But there will be more challenges later( riggings, lozenge....) So, i will see. But i believe, that WWII will remains my priority 🙂

I'm a bit late in commenting do to my holiday - nice work so far!
Since there are some pitfalls: do you want a fun build or should it be correct?
Which specific serial do you plan to build?

Thank you, Frank!
I want to build 8244/17 of Jasta 54. This marking is, according Eduard instructions, just a reconstruction based on the description in the flight log, revealed in the Jasta Color book. So, in my opinion it will be difficult to buid it 100% correct 🙂 However, I will of course be grateful for any advice and recommendations

Ok, on a Pfalz D.IIIa the engine is different. The very simplified Eduard (the pipe work on the lower end of the cylinders is the water, what you have painted dark red - but this is not much visible later) engine shows a older 160hp Mercedes D.III. This is especially shown by the valve train, which can be seen on top of the engine.
Two bolts on top, and the valve in the middle: [img1]
The later 185hp Mercedes D.IIIa was also available for some Pfalz D.III, and nearly all of Pfalz D.IIIa pictures shows this stronger version. The drawings I know too. The engine is a little bit bigger, but the valve train looks very different - four bolts and the valves rockers comes out of the side:
[img1]
Roden has a better representation of this engine (same sprue on all kits), and it is also more correct in size. That means I cannot get it into this model. I will use a Eduard engine from a Fokker for my second Pfalz D.III (which needs the 185hp), as it is the same size, but more correct regarding details.
No worries mate, only an expert will notice on the finished model 🙂
And regarding the wings: I strongly recommend Aviattic decals. The ones printed on clear paper (normal) and the ones printed on white for rib tapes. Or you use the Eduard rib tapes. I have some build logs explaining the usage.

Nice. How did you add the astro dome? That doesn't come with the kit from what I can tell, which is too bad.

It was in my kit but wasn't listed on the instructions. My guess is for a later release of additin variants. Glad it was there because, like you, I didn't know how I was going to pull that one off😉

Thanks Paul, One of my favorite books and what a great story that I can pass on when anyone looks at my shelf.

Well, that's a like and a follow from me. This is actually one of my favorite stories from the war.

Thanks CR. I really enjoy building subjects for a reason with a story not just because it "looks cool" although there is some of that. Look forward to seeing some of your work when you post it. Welcome to the site!
