Thank you, all.
Despite the setbacks I did enjoy making an SE5 for a change - and, yes, a yellow one - phew!

I believe the KP Nieuport 11/16 are based on the old HR Model resin kits.
I will be able to check it in a while as the two Ni.11 kits are on their way to me.

Very nice work on the interior. Personally I wouldn't worry about the prop unless you have a photo of the aircraft you are modelling and can prove what type of prop it had. They didn't stick to one type and they were also consumable items that would be changed. But if you want to do more tiny carving, don't let me stop you...... ;)

Cheers matey. You know me I love a good whittle  . . .  ;D

See you soon

You must have eyes the size of saucepans and fingers the size of pins to do this.

That's a disturbing mental image...  ;D

Onto finishing up the interior and fuselage.

The interior bits were installed and painted as per the Wingnuts color guide. I forewent smoothing out and weathering the fuselage interior because most of it won't be visible



The two halves of the fuselage were glued together carefully, and copious amounts of putty was applied to the central and dorsal seams. The whole fuselage was primed and then sanded down to even out the gaps, layer edges and file marks. This process was repeated between 2 and 4 times, depending on the area.




The final smooth fuselage (forgive the finger smudge in the first photo).




And a quick test fit of the tail surfaces.

My friends and s/o have said that...

Oh, wow...the engine alone is a magnificent piece of work! I don't have a particular fondness for Rolands but I'm now eagerly awaiting updates on both builds!

Cheers guys! I'm glad you're all enjoying the process.
