Hi all
This one should be really fun! Courtesy of Squadron, this is Roden's 1:32 Pfalz, updated with resin and etch, and offering film, book and real-life options. Film option decals include a full set of lozenges - and, for once, we won't be worrying about accurate colours - these are deliberately spurious, however you look at them!
All the best

Hi Rowan. If you feel like making an accurate (cough, cough) replica, the machine currently has it's cowlings off. If I can figure out how, I could post some pictures of it for the sake of the "serious" modellers.

Hi Karl
Definitely! In fact, if you send in to Features submissions, they'd make a really interesting addition to the Walkarounds section.

Hi Rowan. Will see about photos this morning.
A very good piece of film is on you-tube.
Just search with "Pfalz Omaka".

Excellent. I took photos of the kit this morning. The new multi-media parts and decals look great, and the conversion is pretty irresistible - probably not suited for beginners or the faint-hearted though.

Hi Rowan. I've sent photos through to the "/features". I'm looking forward to seeing the kit.
I think you might change your mind about a conversion not being for the faint-hearted when you see the 'internals' though...

We'll run the pics this weekend.
It's some of the cutting involved that may put beginners and the fainthearted off, but it looks a very interesting conversion.

Don't we have a thread around here on the BlueMax ? I can't find it.
