Jasta 4 Pfalz D.III (full color)

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Pfalz D.III 1397/17 of an unknown pilot in Jasta 4.  The spiral-wrapped black band on the fuselage is the Jasta 4 marking in this time period.   Many famous pilots passed through Jasta 4 during its history, including its top-scoring pilot Ernst Udet who scored 39 of his 62 confirmed victories while with the unit.  During the war they were credited with at least 189 victories.

No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired.  The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit.  The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card.  You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:PfaD3-1397-17-card.jpg.

Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks.  Both are robust materials and fine for gaming.   Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces.  "Matte HDFC" and "Smooth FCN12" choices mean the prints are oversprayed in the factory, and the difference with the overspray is subtle.  You can find more material photos and comparisons at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35581-Material-HDFC-vs-Full-Color-Nylon-12-(MJF).
