Hi Stephen,
I will be following this build! (Roden 1:32) I have a CMR 1:72 Siemens Schuckert D.III in my stash and look forward to seeing your build and wing lozenge decals.
Any leads on a 1:72 lozenge supplier? Richard.


Aeroscale editor Richard Tonge mentioned he was interested in my take on the larger scale Roden kit as he had a 1:72 scale kit he wanted to build. I remember doing the 1:72 Pegasus kit and the 1:48 Eduard kit side by side. The idea being that the Eduard detail could be scaled down for the Pegasus kit. So I dug out some images to post here.

The kit had Superscale 5 colour lozenge and a scratchbuilt interior based on the Eduard kit. Sorry these appear a bit out of focus.

This is an example of the MicroScale sheet #TF 28. I used it with a yellow - brown translucent over coat in the Pegasus 1:72 SSW D.III and Eduard 1:48 #8001 kit that I modified to a SSW D.IV. Both builds circa 1992. Below is the modified Eduard kit.

Hi Stephan.
Thank you for posting photos and useful info.
Now I will soon build my CMR kit.
You have set a high standard again!
