This was a straight out of the box build.  One of the easier Roden kits.  I used Tamiya and Vallejo paints.

The only issue I had was with the decals being a bit brittle.  I must learn to paint National insignias myself.  Some minor weathering with graphite. You are left with a lot of extra parts on the K sprue and I really like that even though they are for a Sopwith Camel

Very nice! As I always say, “You can never have too many Nieuport”.

That looks very good. Neat finish and super rigging.

That's lovely! There's something utterly charming about the Nieuport and your model brought a big smile to my face.

Excellent build!  Nice paintwork and assembly.  I agree about all the nice extras parts Roden includes with their kits. They are instrumental for the vac kits I build.

Excellent little Nieuport. I am glad the 24 was not too difficult of a build in this scale. The 1/32nd scale version is one of their Most Challenging !

As Radarman said, one can never have too many Nieuports!  Beautiful build. Are the markings from the kit decals?
