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 🙂

bughunter
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?
21 August, 10:03
Jakub Fiala
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
21 August, 18:10
bughunter
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 🙁

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.
30 August, 15:56
Jakub Fiala
Thank you very much, Frank, for your help!
While going through the photos and drawings of the engines, I noticed that each type is different, but I was quite confused as to which engine was the right one. In the end I didn't deal with it and just tried to scratchbuild some visible details that are missing from the kit. For example the air pump, pipes and hoses leading from the radiator on the upper wing etc. I use the WnW manual and kit ( borrowed from a friend of mine) as the main source of information 🙂

Thanks for the advice on decals. I'll try to get the Aviattic ones. But I don't know if it will be easier for me to use the lozenge decals from the kit, which are already prepared in the shape of a wing. I will see...

Yes, the WNW manuals are a good source! You can download the manuals as PDF, the web site is still available.
But I suggest to download all what you need (also for other projects) soon. The site was away for a while already and I heard rumors that it was paid then for some additional time only.

For the Linux users among us, I suggest using "wget" with the recursive option so you can get all the PDFs, reference images and more to your hard drive without making millions of clicks,

I sprayed the colors on the fuselage and applied the first layer of lozenge decal from Eduard. Unfortunately, I could not find those from Aviattic at any of the e-shops. I have to admit I'm too lazy to order them directly from the UK manufacturer 🙂

7 November, 11:06
Mark Sherwood
The Pfalz is looking good Jakub, despite the mishaps. I have had similar problems, even though I de-tacked the tape. Still it looks like it's coming good. 🤘🥸🤟

Steady progress. Did you light the stern?
8 July, 01:32
Thomas Wirsching
Great job so far! I would love to get an explanation about how to do these LED lighting in detail as I have no idea about this.
8 July, 05:04
Hang Li
Thanks Tim, Villiers, and Thomas. I did put a led for the trolled sonar bay back at the stern. It is apparently not bright enough to be really visible. Probably not noticeable after finished.

I prefer to use Led tape light as it has build in resistors so I don't need do calculation to figure out the resistor value. Once that is sorted, what left is just connect the led unit with a battery and a switch. I think it is better to ask a trained electrician as the circiut I built don't last long and I don't really know why.
9 July, 12:37

I expect modelling of the highest quality from your bench. So far I am not disappointed. 🙂
Keep it up.
6 August, 09:58
Treehugger
Hm, how long did it take to make the nice looking ocean surface? It certainly looks like a fun project.
I wish I knew how to make such ocean surfaces, as it really seem to complete a model with such a diorama.

I am no expert on led's but my impression is that one has to be careful that the voltage to the led's is controlled to specs, so they don't burn out shortly after and end up being un-repairable inside the model. Also, something about connecting led's in parallel, pattern iirc, to avoid one dead led blacking out all the rest of the leds in a serial connection, iirc.
25 August, 09:36
Thomas Wirsching
Your build is already mindblowing; 漂亮]!
25 August, 16:52
Tim
Your sea base is looking really nice.
27 August, 10:57
Hang Li
Thanks Treehugger, THomas and Tim.
As for the sea base, you can check a YouTube channel called ''studio blue ocean'', I basically followed his videos. And treehugger did a pretty good summary for LEDs. The voltages is very important and it is always needed to put some resistors in series to potect the LEDs. The size of the resistors can be calculated with ohms' law. There are small circuit boards for LEDs which can be used to make everything easier.

Getting better and better; can you please show us a detail picture from the inside of the hangar? Did you build this from scratch?
14 September, 03:49
Hang Li
Thanks, Rui and Villiers. I just masked the hangar as I am going to paint the outside. I will get better hangar photos once finish. The trumpster kit comes with the hangar and the ceiling is in good detail (I only add LEDs to the ceiling). Only the walls need additional work to add details, like handrails, supports etc.
14 September, 12:27

Ingmar Stöhr
@Hang Li: For the 'oil canning' effect. Did you have accurate plans for the frame spacing or how did you come up with the pattern you used? I have to say that is look really convincing after some more weathering effects are applied on top.
25 October, 10:09
Hang Li
thanks Ingmar, Gary and Villiers. As for the 'oil canning' effect, I found some photos which are somewhat visible for this effect as reference for the pattern and I have to simplifie the pattern to make it practical. So it is not quite accurate. I got some pre-cutted masking paper in 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm and I just picked one that I believe is most suitable.
26 October, 10:58
Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you for the explanation! It looks convincing to me! Keep up the great work!

28 December 2023, 05:22

Welcome, my fellow addicts 😄

Bossy, if you add the date bought and the price when adding a kit to your stash, you get two 'benefits'...
1) Your projects show a total cost 🙁
2) In the stash, on the right in blue, you see a date in a blue bar, that's your date bought/sold.
28 December 2023, 07:04

Yes, I noticed the dates. Looks like I acquired 29 kits and only finished 4, none of which were started this year. Awful.

Martin, the date method is how I determined my count for this year. I am generally pretty good at adding inventory. Cost? I don't want to know. Especially since I have purchased a lot of paint this year.
29 December 2023, 06:12
Martin Oostrom
Bill, Paints are priceless to me! I love the Molotow stuff, but at €29 for 30ml, thats too much. I'll wait for a discount somewhere.
I know that a €50 kit needs about €10-25 in aftermarket stuff and paint.

30 December 2023, 01:33

Well I for sure don't keep track and that's damn good as my inflow of kits is unhealthy and I've not finished a kit since 2019. Started many but get them done is difficult for some reason. But it's too easy to buy kits...
