If you look under the "other designs by ricraynor" links you can find the lozenge, along with a variety of other designs, in various scales. I can't swear that it is accurately 1/4 scale or that the colors are absolutely correct but it is available. Glenn Torrance fabric is more accurate but is out of production and jealously hoarded by those who have some. I've heard of some lozenge printed iron on fabric being inported from Europe but havent seen any myself. A nice thing about Spoonflower is that they will sell small samples at a reasonable price . You can get the pattern in a wide variety of fabrics and they ship quickly.

I have never seen one of these planes with a varnished fuse.. Were they all painted?

As far as I know, they were all painted. The "wickelrumph" construction was made of strips of veneer laid at a bias to one another and then covered in fabric. I have seen photos of planes that have been in the field for a while. The glue joints can be seen through the fabric but I don't think there were any varnish only wood finishes on Pfalz airplanes.

I have acquired some Pfalz DIII cut parts which i would like to build but the plan is missing and i have no idea whose plan the parts were cut from! There are a pair of 5" Flair type wheels with it which would suggest smaller than 1/4 scale though the top wing ribs are slightly longer than those on my BUSA Nieuport 17. Looking at the fuselage formers and ribs they have possibly been diecut from a plan as nothing is printed on them so probably not a production kit, parts are not from a blown up Palmer plan, any ideas looking at the parts?

This is a poser. The thing that throws me is the spinner. That looks like a commercially made piece. Arizona models may have offered a Polapink designed Pfalz in several scales but the 1/4 scale spinner I have from them was spun aluminum and this looks like a molded piece. Tom Polapink campaigned both a 1/5 scale and a 1/4 scale version but I don't think plans were published. I would point you at Arizona Models but I'm pretty sure the owner passed away and the business is gone. In terms of the scale, the upper wing chord for 1/4 scale is about 16 or 16.5 inches while 1/5 scale would be around 12.8. I don't have the figures right at hand but that should be pretty close. It looks like a beautifully made kit. From what I can see of the formers it appears that it is designed for a beam mount engine. For me that argues for an enlargement of an older plan but that could just be the designer's preference.

Thanks for the reply, top wing ribs are a tad over 10.5", by the time you add in leading and trailing edge it could be 1/5th or 1/6th scale?

I had to go get my reference materials to check for sure but a 10.5" wing chord scales out at 1/6 scale. My best guess is that it is an Arizona Models kit. Since they are defunct I would suggest trying to get in touch with Tom Polapink. He has been affiliated with Old Rhinebeck Aerodrom pretty much all of his life so you might find a contact there. He posts on YouTube as sopfoknie so you might make contact there. If that doesn't work out the kit is probably based on the Wylam drawings. You can probably reverse engineer a set of plans from the parts and the drawings.

Many thanks for your help i will investigate further, i am pretty sure i have found the kit manufacturer from a thread on another forum, a chance comment on an old thread led me to believe that someone had a kit the same as mine, pictures of the plans have confirmed my suspicions, the fuselage formers, cut control horns etc all match what i have here. The kit the other guy has is an old Combat Models Pfalz DIII at 1/6th scale, i have asked the owner if he could measure the length of a top wing rib to confirm. Does anyone here have any more information on Combat Models, i am guessing 70`s or 80`s for production looking at the style of the kit, all fuselage formers are ply or light ply etc.

I forgot all about this great old thread.. I hope to see this one finished up and flying !!

If I would quit letting myself get distracted with other projects it would be finished by now. it's been at about this level of finished for a year now. I've built a half dozen other airplanes since i started this project.

That is a very impressive looking model, get it in the air!
