Title: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on February 04, 2019, 08:04:47 AM: I started both the Nieuports ( early and late types ) but only the early is being assembled at the moment, here are some pictures of actual status.
I still need to choose the final subject, so top wing is waiting some more time.

what did you use as turnbuckles? Gaspach’ offering?
they look very good.... I should try them myself.....

Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on February 19, 2019, 04:26:02 PM: Thank you for your comments. Turnbuckles are Gaspatch 1/48 type C, installed with microtube sections. On the left side I tried to install rigging without tubes, harder but looking more to scale.

Post by: kensar on February 21, 2019, 10:48:23 PM: very nice detailing. What do you think of the CSM kit?
Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on February 22, 2019, 12:01:25 AM: Thank you all for your comments. I think it's a very good kit, comparable with WNW with a great attention to interior details. If relly looking for weak points, engine is not as fine as its counterpart but still well done and there is no suggestion about the colours, its greatest strength is clever engeneering and a gorgeous instruction booklet.
Ciao

Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on March 01, 2019, 08:40:38 AM: Sorry for pictures low quality, I've been working on my early Ni17 even needing some retouching before advancing to next steps.
The cockerel is hand drawing over stenciled white silhouette.

Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on March 04, 2019, 02:50:06 PM: Thank you for visiting Rick, I still need to install a plaque on the lower central junction of the wings at the forward gun support. I ruined the first transparents trying to install them with a supposed "non crazying" cyano, then redone with white glue. On second thaught if I will be building another plane with acetate windows on the wings I will try to soften the clear part with heat before installation but this still need to be tested.

Post by: GAJouette on March 04, 2019, 02:59:14 PM: Giuseppe,
Outstanding works my old friend. I'm most impressed with your paint,just awesome. For the upper wing glazing you might try to find a canopy glue. I'm not certain who makes the stuff but it works very well. As a added plus it dries flats so it's difficult to notice over flat paint. Keep up you excellence!
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on March 04, 2019, 03:13:46 PM: Thank you Bill and Gregory. I will try and gather a real canopy glue for next builds.
Ciao

Post by: Edo on March 04, 2019, 04:03:02 PM: hey Giuseppe!
I tried with white glue too, but it popped off like a spring... :-[, now i set for cyano....
didn’t know about the rigging thoug... too late for me, at least if it doesn’t pop off again....
very beautiful!
ciao

Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on March 14, 2019, 08:47:17 AM: Thank you Edo, it's anyway a minor detail. I made she stand on her feet and attached rigging to upper wing:

(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7826/47372258801_3f5cb565d4_b.jpg)

A lot of retouching is due before positioning upper wing :( and I still need to find a goodway to place tensioners on lower ving, close to vee struts.

Ciao
Giuseppe
Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: RAGIII on March 14, 2019, 11:31:35 AM: Rigging attachments look awesome Giuseppe! Really taking shape and looking terrific all around! I hope I can get my early model looking half as good!

Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: UFAG on March 15, 2019, 12:56:37 AM: Okay, another beauty here...!!
Is a "crowded" working table a mandatory requirement for such a good build..??😊
Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on March 15, 2019, 02:46:22 AM: Thank you for your kind comments. The crowdede bench is a pain but after two house movings some space is messy this way. I hope to have the area cleared, sooner or later ::) ::) ::)

Post by: lone modeller on March 15, 2019, 09:35:38 AM: Sorry I have missed this Guiseppe - my how neat and clean your work is. The cockeral is something that I just wish that I could draw and paint - alas I could not. The interior detail is simply breath taking - so much detail and all so clear. This is a mini-masterpiece in the making.

Spectacular work and the detail is impressive to say the very least. Your work desk looks pretty organized and fully functional to me as I peer over my shoulder to survey the "war zone" on mine! This is going to be a really outstanding model when completed, I'll be following very closely to pick up some pointers for mine.
Cheers,

Post by: Borsos on March 17, 2019, 01:02:51 AM: Wonderful progress. When it comes to my working place, these (rare, really rare) days when I clean up my room it takes hours and hours to get things look more or less tidy. Then I shut my eyes for half a second and suddenly its as messy as before. Must be a magical thing somehow...

Post by: gbrivio on March 17, 2019, 08:35:24 AM: Andreas and Juan, thank you for visiting and commenting. Yes, keeping a tidy bench is not easy but my one had better times and I definetly need to remove something to gain the inner area, safer to avoid dropping pieces and tools on the floor :-[

Post by: RAGIII on March 18, 2019, 09:40:50 PM: Lovely build all around! I hope I can do as well as you have. I do have a question and sorry if I missed it somewhere during your build: What brand of paint and what colors did you use for the green and brown and the undersides?
RAGIII
Title: Re: CSM 1/32 Nieuport 17
Post by: gbrivio on March 18, 2019, 11:02:41 PM: Thank you Manni and Rick. About the colours I did't mention them, sorry. Having no sure reference I tried to match at my best with colour profiles of Marc Chassard's book and the CSM instructon booklet so don't take them as real colours. My choice was the following:

Vert clair (light green) Mr. Hobby H58 interior green (I tried before with H303 green FS34102, but was unsatisfied and oversprayed with H58. It's looking slightly darker because of the undercoat but I like the final hue)

Marron (brown) Tamiya XF10 flat brown

Bleu clair (light blue) Tamiya XF23 light blue

Undercoat was flat white with black preshading for wing spars and ribs. Protective blue for metals, struts and contour tape is Tamiya XF18 medium blue.

I hope this can help, at least as a starting point.
