Hi Bud,
I see the 'boss' wagging her finger at someone - were you sat opposite?
I see me and Sharon are sat at the back - I wonder what I'm bragging about!!

Mike
Mike, thanks for coming through with that link.
I think Carol was directing her discourse to Paul Thompson, but I have no idea what it was.  Paul seems rapt, though.
Looks like you may have been bragging about the size of something.  I'm afraid I was too far away to hear.  Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Cheers,
Bud

P.S.- It sure was fun hanging out with you and Sharon.  Let's do it again sometime.

Glad I found this build(s). I have an early Nieup wrapped and under the tree with my name on it.
My wife hasn't seen it yet so at least one of us will be surprised on Christmas morning :)
So, Daryl, what did you think?  Great kit, ain't it.  Have you started it yet?
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Bud, looks like it was Slava who handed us the kit, while Carol whipped the money out of my hands! Lol. Check out the CSM photos on the Telford link in "hobby shows"  regards Pete in RI
Carol's good at that.  If that's you next to Slava, we did meet, if only briefly.  Hope you're enjoying the kit.  Just a word of advice.  KEEP ALL PAINT OFF THE MATING SURFACES!
Cheers,
Bud

Bud,

Your progress looks good !  My N.17 was waiting for me when we returned Friday from our Christmas vacation  with Brad, Rachel and Reese (now 4 & 1/2) in Seattle. But it'll be a while before  getting it into the Queue.

Many things happening this coming year for us, will give you a call in a few days.

Ed

Thanks, Amigo!  I look forward to your call.  You've got my curiosity aroused.
Happy New Year,
Bud

Both interiors are finished!  One last look before they disappear.  Again, a word of advice, NO PAINT ON MATING SURFACES!  Tolerances are very tight!




I've got the early bird fully primed and ready for pre-shading and paint.  The late one is close behind.


Happy New Year to all my forum friends!
Cheers,
Bud

Bud, you made a great work, but the kit seems also to be fantastic! My 1:48 Nieuport is far away in details from this one.
The way form the very first injection moulded kit in 2016 to this one - very impressive!

Cheers,
Frank

Very nice and clean builds, Bud. I really like them and they remind me to get mine done...

Excellent Bud
Just had a look at my late version and see how incredibly fine the parts are. The cockpit rigging looks to be particularly difficult. By the evidence to date, a challenge well progressed by you! I look forward to seeing more.

Cheers
