The weather was ok today to try some outdoor pictures of the finished Pfalz D.III.
The pictures were taken 65 kilometres away from the airfield of the "Bayerische Militärfliegerschule 5" in Gersthofen - the place where the original photo was taken.

Alec K
Beautiful! And what a cool historical tie-in. 👍

Martin Oostrom
Your biplane shrinking machine is working as well as ever Bugsy. Another one to be proud of.

Dieter Bihlmaier
Wunderbar! Great build and fantastic pictures.

Doubtingmango

Great paint job

Alexander Perov
Thanks colleagues, this is a good set of two aircraft, only the rivet seams do not correspond to any drawing

Alec K

I also plan to build a Yak-11. Only the scale will be bigger - 1/48. I will be glad to follow your build and get inspiration.

What paint scheme did you choose for your plane?

David Lengyel
Thanks gents!

@Ludvík Kružík: I'm building the first fighter plane of the LSK-NVA (East German Air Force). The paint is Yakovlev factory default - overall blue-grey.

Ludvík Kružík
The East German national emblems are interesting. They are not often seen on models. I am curious how they will look on your model.

Ekki
Watching.

David Lengyel
Some progress on the panel line and surface clean-up before I commit to the control surface details.

Alec K
Superb 👍

Alec K
Very convincing rendition of Tank's ultimate fighter 👍

Pietro De Angelis

Mr James

Christian Bruer
Bergepanther Ausf. D, Dragon kit Panther Ausf. D, Fat Frog Models tracks and some scratchbuild details to present an early Bergepanther.
An easy self made conversion for an interesting recovery vehicle. I will add drawbars, a rack with a timber and the wooden hatch above the turret opening.
Happy Modelling

WIP on my Bergepanther conversion. Today I added the wooden planking and hinges ontop of the turret opening cover.

Looking lovely, taking a seat 👍

Jennifer Franklin
I like what I see, following

Christian Bruer
Thx Alex and Jennifer🙂 Still enough place in the first row by the way 😉

Tom B.
Taking up one of those firstt row seats on this one! These Fat Frog tracks are really neat, currently using a set on a King Tiger... Looking forward to more of the scratchbuilt addons 👍

Christian Bruer
You're welcome Tom B. 🙂

Indeed the Fat Frog tracks are really nice, but a lil bit tricky to remove all the printing supports mainly on the inner side of the tracks.

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther conversion. Tow bars and wooden beam added.
So far I have no references for early Bergepanther using the wooden beam, but let's assume it is a field modification.

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther. Rear plate, details added. I cut the covers and hatches off from the kit part. Muchveasier than to rebuild the details.

Alec K
Christian, I love your scratched wood structures. Very realistic to my eye 👍

Jennifer Franklin
Agreed, the scratched wood structure looks great.

gorby
Remarkable scratch building!

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much for your kind comments Alec, Jennifer and gorby 🙂

Christian Bruer
The exterior is finished. I think I will add some interior because I will the hatches left open.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Jennifer Franklin
Did you paint the metal pieces to look like metal or are they real metal pieces?

Christian Bruer
Jennifer, I gues you asked about the enging grill covers. These are brass photo etch parts from a Flyhawk PE Set.

Jennifer Franklin
The brass parts look great

Christian Bruer
Yep, they're nicely done.

I decide to add some figures, crew and chatting tank drivers.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Christian Bruer
Nearly there, just a few highlights to paint and the brackets for the Schürzen to add.
