Pfalz DIII - Blue Max
Here you can see the instructions for removing the styrene cowling and replacing it with the resin "movie version" cowling...
The cowling around the engine is resin and the fit is tricky as you can see
Another look at the resin cowling
This is the engine for the movie version...the top is resin with the base styrene
Its an odd version of an engine design for a Pfalz DIII...probably only used in the movie 🙂
The decals, specifically the lozenges were of very high quality and were a pleasure to work with.
The fit where the wing meets the fuselage was quite tricky however and required some additional work (i.e. blending colours, etc.) to fit contours
Another look at the wing/fuselage connection
The first assembly of the upper wing
For the movie version, many of the molded features had to be sanded off. This required a lot of work and filler around the resin piece. Since it was semi-gloss black, it took a lot of work to mostly remove the blemishes :-|
A different view
The landing gear was difficult to attach since the connections to the fuselage were not we'll designed (i.e. too shallow).
