Eduard 1:48 Pfalz

This was one of my first forays into WWI aircraft. This was a good little build with nice photo-etched details for the seatbelts, and cooling jackets for the guns. The rigging was a little clunky (all my fault) and I have since learned a better technique for making the wires more realistic.

The decals were a challenge, but like in most cases, it simply took a lot of patience and lots of water.

Here you can see the simple details of the cockpit. No hi-tech dials and gauges here!
The woodgrain effect I achieved with paint and dry-brushing can be seen to good effect here. Too bad you can't see much once the fuselage is closed.

Here is a shot of the gun details as well as more wood-grain effects.
