Evening All,
Many thanks for the very kind comments gentlemen: I much appreciate them.
After I had completed the painting I added the undercarriage. Following problems which I had with the first of the Nieuport II's I decided to use florists wire for the longitudinal undercarriage strut: this provided more stiffness and prevented the model from becoming a tail sitter. I also replaced the plastic rod with florists wire on the earlier model and correcteda mistake - there should only be a single spade on the longitudinal strut, and that should be at the rear:
The final details included adding the wheels, rudder, upper fuselage pylon and propellor. It was rigged with 40 SWG rolled copper wire attached with CA.
The other Nieuport II that I completed three weeks ago:
I will post photos and some notes in the completed models section soon.
Thanks for looking.
Stephen
