Almost finished re-painting my 6 Pfalz D.IIIs.
The first was an easy choice. Good old Berthold of JG2. The same paint job as my Berthold Fokker D.VII and I even used the same decal from Dom's Jasta 15 sheet:
I've started using the Peter Pig pilots and have given him a red scarf to match the nose and struts
Next I turned to Jasta 10 and a re-paint of Kleins plane using the colours in the Osprey book. The black stripes along the fuselage are my first ever home made decals. Simple but effective and I'm very proud if them and have a couple of spare sets (if anyone wants them PM me):
Klein has a nice yellow scarf to match the tail of his plane. This became a theme with the pilots as you will see.
Next a simple Klein re-paint into Aloys Heldmann's plane with a blue tail (and scarf):
Then on to a third with 2 black bands around the fuselage and a green tail (and scarf) for Vfw Hecht. This one is thought to be a later re-paint of Verner Voss's plane:
Then another plane for Aloys Heldmann from the Osprey book. This is an earlier paint scheme with purple and green camo (and purple scarf):
All planes are still in gloss awaiting the final spray of matt one the sixth one is completed. To complete the last one I'm waiting on some white decal paper to make another of my own decals. More of that later as it's my bed time now
