Amazing work. von B

The wood looks great. Keep up the great work! von B

Love the patina on the paintwork. Superb finish. von B

Thanks for all the kind words! I enjoyed making the Tripe. The usual WNW high standards in fit and design really makes for a smooth build. Cheers! von Buckle

A couple of the office... Cheers, BvB

Hello all, I completed the Tripe towards the back-end of last year for a memorial group build. I'm very pleased with how she turned out. Hope you like her. Cheers Bob Von B

Please consider posting some more pictures of her. What I see I like, but I want to like more and more Cheers, vB

The most elegant airframe to come out of the Great War. Lovely looking Pfalz - Very well done vB

Absolute gem, James! Well done!! vB

I will be keeping my 'mince pies' glued to this thread. Good luck! Von Buckle

Dear Sir Peter, I would like: Fok.DR.1 Pfalz DIII Sopwith Dolphin + if you wouldn't mind sending me a plane ticket to NZ so I can dribble over your collection of 1/1 scale aircraft. I don't want much! Von Buckle VC & Bar Bar Bar

Cheers! More masks will be added in time. Cockades, crosses, base art and whatever comes to mind VB

Hi all, Just to let you know that I have added my 'Strippers' masking strips to my website. Thin, repositionable, flexible and have many uses, they work like a charm! Cheers! Von Buckle http://www.bobsbuckles.co.uk/strippers.html http://www.bobsbuckles.co.uk/seam-tapes-.html

Thanks for all the great comments - truly appreciated! Hi Steve, The Pfalz is sitting next to my Roden DIII in the case. Happy days, my friend! Cheers!! Von Buckle

Well, my friends, the curtain has finally come down on my MFJ III Pfalz DIIIa - YAY!!! It has been 5 long years since my last completed kit. I guarantee you, you won’t have to wait another 5 more. Not with the likes of WNW’s build quality and attention to detail. Superb!! Let me start by saying a big Thank you to Steve Robson. His generosity knows no bounds - cheers mate! A big thank you goes out to Garry from Hannants London. He gave me the birthday gift of one of Doug Craners superb wooden wonders - cheers Gazz! To Sir Peter Jackson: Thanks for pouring your time and passion into WNW. You have given all of us innumerable hours of enjoyment, speculation and a web based brotherhood of loyal followers - Gawd Bless Ya! What you see before you is my rendition of an unknown pilot + unknown serial MFJ.III Pfalz. The only surviving picture and the basis for my build can be seen on page 64 of Greg VanWyngarden’s Pfalz Scout Aces of World War One. From this sole surviving picture I went with a gut feeling (I’m happy to be proven wrong) that the band around the diamond was yellow and not black. Why? I can see no tonal difference between the Diamond band and the yellow tail section. Like I say, I’m happy to be wrong ;-) Cheers. Bob Von Buckles ;-) Let the pictures begin… ;) ;)

Hi Jeroen, I will confirm my address by PM Please confirm yours. Do you want just the crosses? I can also provide the square masks for the white backgrounds. Cheers, Bob Bertl, Send me your address. I will do the rest Cheers, Bob
