Roden 1/32 Nieuport 28c1

[IFF1418]

Hi all,

This is the first time I’m presenting a build in the Completed Models. I’m  pleased with it and I think it shows a decent progress to my two other builds (SE5a and Sopwith Tripe). The kit is Roden 1/32 Nieuport c1 and I had few fitting problems
The scheme is the one from Lt. Quentin Roosevelt 95th Aero Squadron june 1918 in Gengoult
Decals are SuperScale
All paint Tamiya acrylic
Rigging lines the Shimano Techniumn fishing lines acquired from Steven. A bit thicker than the usual 0,12mm , 0,14mm is noticeable but very fine to work with.
The eyelets and tubes from (who else) dear Herr Von Bucklehoffen
The original seat from Roden was modified into a peach basket. I meanwhile got the seat made by Ron and that one is far better than mine and I would recommend it to everyone building this a/c.
I didn’t install the windscreen from the kit. Whenever I find the time, I’ll try to make one myself.

I would like to thank all those kind people (mostly always the same onces) who supported me through this build and gave me much of advice, and the build logs of those who built the same a/c were an invaluable help.

Lovely Ni28! Colourful, clean and crisp. Congratulations, IFF.

Patrick,

Glad to see you have taken some more pictures of your completed N28 - you have really done this kit justice and the chosen colour/marking scheme looks very striking - superb job.

I never noticed the missing windscreen - your right, the kit supplied tin (clear) plastic sheet is not easy to cut and apply so sourcing another one is probably a good move.

Regards

Dave

Hello Des, Rick, Ernie and Nigel,

Thank you all for your flattering words! I enjoyed the build very much and this a/c is certainly a favourite of mine. It's an elegant design as Nigel said and besides that the Roden kit was not bad at all. Thank you all you great modelers for your appreciation and encouragement.

Kind regards
Patrick

As noted elsewhere Patrick, you have produced a superlative model of this lovely aircraft, which could be proudly displayed anywhere.   I hope mine looks just like yours.  Nicely done.

Cheers,

Bob
