karatelThank you. It was a challenge for me. I had to design everything on my own, including decals. Some of them were printed at www.meliusmanu.pl , some of them are my own home-made inkjet decals. BTW, I tried lots of decal papers to print at home and found that Expert Choice decals are the best (from those which were available in Europe). Unfortunately I don't have a decent camera to make pictures, in real life it looks even better 🙂

FinnFantastic build, Karatel. And I really wish that you had a whole lot of them IRL. Slava Ukraini!

Robert PodkońskiGood work! I really, really wish you to get these soon. Слава Україні!

bughunterThe 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.

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

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

Kyle DeHartThis 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

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

Joerg R.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

Excellent pictures, as well 👍

bughunterHello 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.

Bill NewcomerI had some adventures in a microbus with some of my cousins back in the early 70's

BozzerSorry to chip in, MS, but this may help you in the future.
When you remove the chrome, there's a residue underneath. That's sometimes, the reason why there's imperfections in the chrome. The residue is some form of clear coat, that's used before the chrome? That can be removed by soaking in brake fluid, for a while. I've had this issue, mainly with Revell chrome, and it doesn't look great. Sometimes, there's a huge blob, and they just chrome over it. Quality control, needs a kick up the butt, at the factory.
Hope this helps you.

Robert PodkońskiI'm a little late, but from now I will be watching this talent show for sure 🙂

Matteo Pescarinthanks a lot of sharing, now I'm intrigued... what printer do you have you can use a white toner with it???
16 August, 12:12
Bruce HuxtableLiking your 'no problem is insurmountable' attitude, and the results 🙂 Inspiring work for sure 🙂
16 August, 12:22
MS K@Matteo Pescarin - There are printers that can use white custom toner. However, it is not as opaque as the commercial decals, so it honestly falls below my expectations.
What I use is ghost white toner.
At first, I planned to buy an Alps printer, but I had no choice but to give up because it only supported Windows XP.
16 August, 14:07
SpanjaardI did not know about this ghost white, or is a pitty that just one cartridge seems to be about 300Eur, and if you say that the quality is not good enough......

DerMattesGreat build, but I was surprised by the quality issues. Seems like these kits are from old molds, not the recent double seater ones.
17 August, 21:23
★ Starfish ★@Mattes Danke! According to scalemates, these molds are from 1991. Hopefully, the Revell, Hasegawa and GWH kits I have are better ☺️

Chris ParsonsOh ya!
Built a couple of Broplan vac kits, a real challenge but great for the feeling of overcoming a challenge and creative accomplishment
11 July, 23:27
Thomas KolbOMG, what a challenge! 🙂 Those panel lines look quite uneven, will you try to rescribe them or just take them for what they are? In any way, I am super curious how these sheets of plastic can be turned into a model, so I will watch with interest!
12 July, 02:31
DuperScaleWelcome mates, the panellines are aweful but the material is so thin, i'm scarred that i cut right trough it when i try to rescribe them.
12 July, 06:24
NicolasFollowing. Got my first vacu kit this weekend. I hope I can learn something here.
16 July, 14:48
Chris ParsonsHi DuperScale, I built a couple of Broplan vac ATR kits, converting one 72 500 to a 42 300. A few pics of the work in my "albums" if you're interested in the kind of model you can achieve from a Broplan kit with a bit of work…sweat and tears, foul language, alcohol and time….
16 July, 23:24
TreehuggerDuperScale, how about scribing into a layer of primer paint?
This way, scribing should be a lot easier afaik, scribing into the primer layer of paing, and not plastic.
This guy on youtube did this, on regular plastic models though.
20 August, 05:21
TreehuggerAs for the clear parts, I wonder if it could be done this way
1) Cut out a square/rectangle shape, removing the oval form from windows. The larger the hole the better, to create some extra space around the old window shape. Enough space to work with putty later on.
2) Glue in a flat thin strip of transparent styrene on inside of model.
3) Glue in a square/rectangle shape transparent styrene, outside the model, laminated with the existing strip of transparent styrene on inside, so double layered.
If keeping the new window parts larger than the old window shape it should be easier to use some putty after adding masking tape that have the shape of the old windows. The larger these new outer square/rectangle window shapes are, the easier it is to add putty to create a smooth surface, then hopefully the center part is clear enough, to mask off the final shape of the old window shape, before painting.
Afaik a common issue using Mikro Kristal Klear is that you can't sand the clear part afterwards, because the clear part is like rubber iirc. You can iirc easily remove this clear part though, just poke/pull it out. Unsure if there would be any residue left after removing the rubber like liquid clear stuff after it dries.
20 August, 05:25
TreehuggerAnother thing one could do with clear parts an idea:
1) Glue in a long strip of transparent styrene on inside of plane.
2) Add some kind of epoxy or something that can be sanded, without the epoxy damaging the underlying transparent styrene.
3) Idea is to use the liquid stuff to fill in the perfectly shaped holes for the windows, then sand the liquid stuff flush after it dries.
What won't work imo, is doing multiple rounds of adding liquids to create some goo that goes transparent. I think if you sand this stuff multiple times adding more liquid stuff, you get a flawed result I think. I tried something like that with gloss varnish, trying to build up a solid clear shape. Did not work as expected.
