It's a pity that the MasterCaster's set is so disappointing. Another example of waisting resources for aftermarket parts that have to be detailed extensively to come up to an acceptable standard.

Friends once more thank you for your good wishes.  :)
Waren last week I was in the Army Museum in Brussels, and had the pleasure to to see and do a few photographs of this aircraft. Unfortunately, it was fenced with ropes and I was not allowed to take pictures beyond ropes.  :(
Only such pictures I can made.





Here you can see that the ammunition box is made of wood, not from aluminum  as is shown on the Millers drawings.



Alain on the use of PE is now late, now I  think that I will use resin components for cockpit .

Now I started to work on the engine cover.
I cut the shield in one place and I made place to the strengthening of the wire.



I put spacers.



I put wire rods.



Now it's time for a two-component adhesive.





Now cover looks much better.







I will fill the gap with resin.

Adam.

I love Nieuports, but I've never picked up this kit before. I'm going to follow this with much interest.

Hi Rick!
This is Adam's thread!

In any case I agree: the cowling looks great, and the engine too!

Ciao

A lot of time has passed since my last entry here.  :'(
In my workshop for a time lived my aunt because she broke her leg and we had to take care of her.
But I have not lost my the time completely.
At that time, I tried to encourage my grandson to modeling.  ;D



I studied the history of aviation WWI.  ;)



Now my aunt now can walk and my workshop is free.  ;D
So I can continue my struggle with my Nieuport.
I finished interior milling the engine cowling.



Success, engine fit in the cover.





Next step fixing engine to the fuselage.



I made place in the cockpit for engine axis.



Unfortunately, there OCCURS a small disaster. Fell off the front wall.  :-\



Then I remembered that on the pictures which I've done in the Army Museum in Brussels, is seen that the ammunition container is a wooden . So it will be easier to paint it.  :)
