Pfalz D.III 4056/17

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.

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

Thank you very much mates!
Dieter, the pictures are taken outdoor with two tripods.
I just added some pictures made in light tent.

Thank you!

Pietro De Angelis
WOW!

Kyle DeHart
This is a stunner Frank!! A gorgeous airframe and I absolutely love the paint scheme as well. Your typical eye for beautiful detail in all the right spots push this to your usual next level build. It is truly always a pleasure to watch one of your builds

I may not know much about WWI aircraft but I know a beautiful aircraft and model when I see one. Another stunner Frank.

Toll geworden!
Bin auch eine am Bauen, bin aber noch nicht soweit, wie du.
Will mir noch den Motor in 3D erstellen und drucken.
Gruss

Hello mates!
I went on a hiking holiday straight after the release of the final album of this project. That's why I haven't replied here yet. I can make up for that now: many thanks to everyone for the kind words! ❤️️
In case you have not seen it: there is also an Work-In-Progress album attached to the project.

Kyle DeHart
I hope you enjoyed your holiday, my friend!!

Gary Victory

Fantastic, some day i will build a ww l plane. But for now i'm happy with looking at that build. 👍

bughunter
Thanks!
This model will also be on display at the exhibition in Ergolding in September.

Christoph Kunz
Sorry, I'm late 🙁
Even (what you call) oob an outstanding build, top work.
Your airscrews are always an "Augenweide", but this time I prefer a look from behind.
Pic 18: the mirror looks so shiny, as if you could shave yourself with it.

Sehr schönes Modell und sehr gut in Szene gesetzt! ✌

bughunter
Thank you, gentlemen!
Christoph, I forgot to mention the mirror in the build report. I used a spare PE part to get an edge and applied a mirror foil in the middle, but that one looks too perfect. So I removed the foil and applied a drop pf Molotow Liquid Chrome, which looks more realistic.

Didn't know about any exsisting coloured photographs about this bird back from those times?! 😀 Simply spotless...

bughunter
Thank you Ed!
Even more than 100 years ago, people could already see in colour 🙂 But I know what you are mean, so I inserted a b/w photo on second position.
