    Default Official Pfalz Dr.1 Painting Thread

    Surprised we didn't have a thread on this one already, so here goes - hopefully some of you have some you can add.

    A Pfalz Dr.1 from Shapeways, sorry can't recall designer but there can't be many in there.

    I went for a traditional Pfalz look rather than my fantasy red/white/black scheme, I used Revell acrylics, light grey and aluminium mixed at a ratio of 2-1. A Peter Pig pilot, Dom's Decals & finished with an acrylic clear varnish.
    Decals don't look quite right to me but from photo's I've seen they didn't paint the crosses onto the ailerons and consequently they look smaller than you think they should be.
    I was happy with how it came out in the end.

    Nice job, Dave.
    If it came with an attached prop, it's by Columbia Aerodrome
    If the prop was separate (attached to the tail), it's by Kampfflieger models
    I have a couple of these waiting in the queue.

    Nice Dave,

    Here are a few pics of my own to add, which were posted back in November '18. Probably on the "This month's workbench"! thread. The model is from Shapeways, by Kampfflieger.
