Franconian Pfalz D.III joins former Zirndorf Fligth

**Marechallannes** · 07-22-2012 09:21

Inspired by planes with local or city colours I repainted a Nexus Wings of War Pfalz D.III (Kleins).

Took the Franconian colours:

and added a "Z" for Zirndorf (the town where I live) at the fuselage.

I hope you like the result. I try to get this plane as my new avatar.

Maybe the Pflaz will take off the first time at the Prague SummerCon next weekend.

Viel erfolg mit der Pfalz in Prag!!

Very good paint job and the thought you put into the repaint.

**Willi Von Klugermann** · 07-22-2012 14:30

Ausgezeichnet !!!

**Boney10** · 07-22-2012 15:00

Nice one Sven I hope you get many victories in your home Phalz

**Niclas** · 07-22-2012 15:12

Great paint job and concept, Sven!

**Dwarflord22** · 07-22-2012 16:02

Nicely done repaint!

**Oberst Hajj** · 07-22-2012 20:30

Yep, I like it!

**Burt** · 07-22-2012 23:22

Certainly a striking looking plane.

It will look good on the table.

That is a very attractive bird Sven.
What a good idea to do it in your own home town colours. You Central Powers chaps get all the good chances to get artistic.
I will go out of my way to avoid shooting down such a fine machine Sven.

I don't think it's wise to mix art and politics - I'd shoot it down.

It's perfect, I swear, it's perfect! What a set of colours! Franconian and German Empire at the same time. The scheme is genious, the colour borders are neat.
And overall this plane looks like a real predator.
So we have 3 planes representing our home towns: Zirndorf, Oppeln and Lisbon.

Thank you comrades.

Good idea to add the planes that inspired me to paint this Pfalz, Andrzej.

I hop the pilot of the Pfalz is wise enough to honour this gesture, Rob.

Don't worry Sven. I just read this post from Niclas.
O.K. Niclas you have it sussed.

Kyte.

nice work!

**Nightbomber** · 07-23-2012 04:21

And if it happens that I'll fly for the Entente during our Prague meeting Sven, your Pfalz may encounter this valiant Nieuport, which I got from Joaquim on my birthday!

Hauptmann Mareschellanes, Sie übertraf sich selbst auf diese Pfalz DIIIa! Herausragende! Ich wäre sehr geehrt werden Ihr Flügelmann und fliegen neben der Pfalz. Ruf Punkt dich zu.

Unsere tapferen Feinden: Vorsicht vor den Himmel für die dunkle Nacht Zirndorf Flug dauert! Die Triple Entente hat gewarnt!

Hey Andrzej, Those are two beautiful triplanes you've painted. Awesome is an understatement. Joaquim's Nieuport repaint is good as well! Happy Hunting!

**petitbilbo** · 07-24-2012 02:23

This is such a neat idea!

I'm from Cologne and I live in Brussel: two planes to paint!

**Grey Knight** · 07-29-2012 08:45

Fantastic job,love the colors.

**Jager** · 08-04-2012 09:52

Missed this first time around; very nice paint scheme. I love the nod to hearldry! :Thumbsup:

**Lloydthegamer** · 08-06-2012 14:07

Great job on the Pfalz, Sven. Nice paint job and great color selection. The Pfalz is one of the nicest looking aircraft and you've done it proud. Lloyd

**Marechallannes** · 08-07-2012 00:44

Thank you comrades.

I'm glad you like it.

**Marechallannes** · 08-07-2012 23:23

...and here:

The official plane card, designed by my dear wingman Max Headroom.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 08-07-2012 23:57

A fine example of Max's work, and a great addition to your personal aircraft Sven. It just completes things nicely to have a card for a particular colour scheme.

Rob.
