I completed this build a couple of months ago. The build thread link can be found here: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=11094.0
I have been waiting to post final pics of the completed model until a suitable photo backdrop arrived, which was supposed to be by June 29. I ordered an HO railroad backdrop photo from a woman in England through eBay, and she dispatched the mailing tube promptly in early June, but the Covid impact on international mail had this package wandering the US for about a month after it arrived in Chicago. Anyway, that is the longish version of the reason for the delay. Here are the pics, at last:

I couldn't resist a few "daybreak" shots of morning sun on the Bebe:

Sorry for going overboard with the photos, but I was having fun with my new photo setup. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Best regards,

An absolute gem Bob, and great photography! The first of the "morning sun" shots is particularly well done, nice touch!

First class model. First class photography. Nuff written!!
Actually I too like the morning sun photos - a very different look has been given to the model. Excellent.

Beautiful immaculate model. Congratulaions!

Great model, Sir, of a great subject.
It is nice to see such a good treatment of the 'four color' French scheme.
-
Outstanding model and great shots. I especially like the break of day shots. I could almost hear the opening strains of Rossini's William Tell Overture, the morning song or whatever it's called. Nice photographs.

I really like how this turned out , awesome !

Who needs a red triplane when you can have a red Nieuport? A beautiful model indeed!

Ditto to all the above, Nicely done!

A treat to see the early French camouflage so well depicted.
