Title: CSM Nieuport XVIIs, Early and Late.
Post by: coyotemagic on February 27, 2019, 04:36:22 AM

I first finished the Late version two weeks ago and decided to wait until they were both competed to post photos.  These kits were a joy to build.  The fit is perfect and the detail is phenomenal.  I'm eagerly awaiting the release of RFC, Russian and Italian variants to add to my collection.  I highly recommend these kits.  Hats off to Edgar and Slava for putting so much love into these beauties.

The Early version was a little trickier due to the clear covering over the center section, so this one took about a week longer to finish.  Here she is.

I currently have 3 Ikea display cases, full to capacity with 51 models, 1/48 and 1/32 scale.  To accommodate these two, I decided to expand the storage area by adding additional shelves using acrylic sheet and rod.  Here sit the CSM Nieuports with their smaller Nieuport stable mates.

Your artistry does justice to these CSM kits, but then again, so do all your builds.

Bud, two very beautiful models!
I like the paintwork and the shadows, oil, wheels ... Well done!

The kit seems to be great, WNW do not need to create a kit of this type 8)

Frank

Post by: Bughunter on February 27, 2019, 07:11:20 AM

Bud, forgot a question about the tail skid: is it a PE from the kit?
Hope it is not overloaded with the weight of the model.

Cheers,
Frank

Title: Re: CSM Nieuport XVIIs, Early and Late.
Post by: coyotemagic on February 27, 2019, 09:03:28 AM

Thanks, Lance and Frank! 
Frank, the tail skid is a kit supplied plastic piece, exquisitely molded and quite strong.  This is a very well engineered kit.
Cheers,
Bud

Well Amigo you have certainly created two Gorgeous Nieuports! The quality of the kit combined with your skills have produced true Eye Candy. Like I said in your build thread, I see a Nungesser bird in My Future!

Thanks again, Amigo!  Like I said earlier, I'll be building a few more of these myself.  One can never have too many Nieuports.

A lovely pair. Fine lines, fine weathering, fine all around...
...except for the propellers - they should be solid brown with no wood layers visible ;)

That is a truly magnificent pair of Nieuports Bud. The kits may be very good, but it takes a master modeller to turn them into models of such high quality.

I have a few of the late version and some newly acquired Kiwi decals for the Lafayette Escadrille.  I was inspired by Russell Smith's print which hangs in my study.  Hope to get started on the triple build in a few weeks.  Thanks for sharing your skills.

Thank you for your kind comments, gentlemen!  I'm hoping Edgar will release British and Russian versions soon.  These kits are amazing and I can't wait to build more.  One can never have enough Nieuports.

Thank you all for such kind comments! I'm truly humbled. 
I've since built a Russian Nie.23, just haven't taken photos yet.  I'll get around to it once things slow down around here.
