Title: Eduard Nieuport 16
Post by: Dave W on January 11, 2017, 05:21:24 PM

My first completion for 2017, Eduard's delightful 1/48th scale Nieuport 16. This is from the double combo Nieuport kit offering a Nieuport 11/ 16 and a  Nie 17.

The Nieuport is nicely detailed and has no vices. It's hand painted and the rigging is 5amp electrical fuse wire, rolled under a flat steel ruler and attached with Elmer's Glue.

Paints used are Citadel, Vallejo and some mixes of Humbrol. The base is a home made affair dressed with model railway scenic groundwork.

I like to have mixed scale projects running in parallel so this has been the latest 1/48th build alternating with a Special Hobby 1/32 Bristol M.1c .

A beautiful looking model David with an excellent overall finish, I love the red colour you used on the fuselage, very well done.

Superb Nieuport Dave! One of my favorite schemes from one of my Favorite Squadrons. Your construction, painting, and rigging look flawless!

    That scheme is definitely a winner, Dave, and you've done a great finishing job on her. Hard to believe it's all brush painted, nicely done!

Lance

Truly great model there. Glad to read that someone else uses wire for rigging - personally I find it the best material in the smaller scales.

Nicely turned out Dave. I have to echo Lance's comment on the great finish you've achieved with a brush - well done!
Cheers,
Gary
