The Pfalz is on its gear for the first time. As noted this is the second version of the landing gear. I'm going to take some photos from the same position as some of my reference pictures to see how the gear lines up. I'm not too happy with the radius on the bends and I can certainly tidy up the bottom end of the gear legs. At this point I am thinking that the tread of the gear is at least an inch too wide. The rudder and the horizontal surfaces are only loosely mounted to the plane so they are sitting a little crooked. No instruments in the cockpit yet. I've been looking at the stuff on Iflytailies.com for cockpit details such as the starting magneto and ammunition chutes for the guns. I've had good luck with Williams Bros. products so I will probably look to them for the wheels and guns. It is going to be a DIIIa, I've just been waiting until I get the guns to cut the hole in the upper deck.
