Title: Completed: CSM 1/32nd Scale Nieuport 17 Early: Rene Dorme N3
Post by: RAGIII on February 05, 2019, 08:57:26 PM: With retirement coming up quickly I think I will be able to handle two entries. So in addition to the DVII I will be doing the CSM Nieuport 17 Early with the markings as seen on the Box Art.

I'll save formal Congratulations for later when the day arrives however that's great news; I can't imagine your modelling productivity when you get at it full time! :o As for the "Noop", good on you, thanks for supporting the Tribute Build with a second project already!

Post by: lone modeller on February 27, 2019, 07:13:03 AM: I think that you are very brave tackling two kits at once Rick - even when you are retired! My experience is that all the time that you think you are going to have somehow gets occupied by other things - especially life!

Title: Re: CSM 1/32nd Scale Nieuport 17 Early
Post by: RAGIII on March 18, 2019, 11:00:31 PM: A belated thanks for the encouragement! I have made a VERY SMALL beginning to my build. Having read some comments about others having difficulty with the Acetate Film center section I used a spare center piece to experiment. I applied Microscale Metal Foil Adhesive to the wing section and the edge of the acetate. Once dry,( it dries clear), I applied the film. Worked like a charm. I reinforced the leading edge with just a bit of a "New" glue I am trying out. That also worked well with NO Fogging. So now on with the build.

PS: A question. What paint brands and colors have others been using for the Brown, Green , and undersurface?
Title: Re: CSM 1/32nd Scale Nieuport 17 Early
Post by: gbrivio on March 19, 2019, 01:56:38 AM: Good tip on transparent cemenr, pity I already sealed mine with white glue with some troubles. For what I learned with my build the auxiliary spars were sheet metal with lightening holes and four inner rigging lines with tensioners are visible. I will post a picture as soon I will be on the home computer, later today. In retrospective I had to adjust better the seam lines between inner and outer sections of upper wing as it becomes much visible after painting and care is needed to have clean joints as paint thikness is enough to give troubles. Have fun with the building, it's a really fine model.

Thanks Ondra. Depending on how thick the application is they are dry to the touch in an hour or two. (I really spread mine out over the base coat to the point they are almost a stain) Not sure about fully cured but would guess 24 hrs.

Thanks T!. As for the upper cowl panel...I don't know ::) I will have to check references. I looked through all of the builds here and this is the one part no one seems to show before it is installed. Funny thing is I don't even remember how I painted mine on my Late 17 build :o

Post by: RAGIII on March 22, 2019, 08:47:59 AM: The Jury is still out as to the forward decking. Edgar has confirmed with a blueprint drawing that the Nieuport 27 was 4mm ply. As I see no reason they would make a change from the 17 to the 27 I am going with wood. Hell it wont be seen anyway ;D
RAGIII

PS: I am getting some outside confirmation for ply, just for the record.

Thanks Amigo! So todays progress. I have put on the "Initial" colors for the light blue under surface and the green portion of the upper surface camo. I will go back after the brown is applied and add some darker and lighter shades...or at least that is the plan 8) I did manage to get a little green overspray on the lower fuselage which will be touched up later.

Thanks for the comment Alistair. I think you are going to love this kit! I have plans to order and build one more of each version as soon as finances allow 8)

Nice, nice...

Thanks Przemo! I have already gone back and added a slightly darker shade of the green for some shadow effects. Brown will be added later today. Have I mentioned that I LOVE being retired ;D

Post by: RAGIII on March 30, 2019, 09:55:18 PM: The results of yesterdays sessions. The brown is on. I used the Model made by XAN as a guide for the camo as I am doing the same airframe with the markings used by Dorme supplied in the kit. Not perfect but close enough. Next up is doing the blue outline for the wing and tail surfaces.

The engine looks really good - such a shame to hide it under the cowling. The paintwork is well up to your usual high standard too.

Post by: RAGIII on April 05, 2019, 07:13:05 AM: Well here is the newest update. I painted the outline on the wings and tail surfaces...twice. First time I was too conservative as to the width of the blue outline ::) So from there I progressed to beginning to apply the markings. Once the markings are all applied I will start some weathering.

I had all of the info I needed but still managed to get the number 12 on the fuselage in the wrong space. I thought about leaving it as is...for a second! I am attaching some pics that Edgar posted on FB so that anyone doing this scheme can be aware of the proper location. I am Happy to say that My Amigo Bud is supplying the replacement Numbers. Thanks Amigo!

Since I had to remove the numbers from the fuselage I took the opportunity to relocate the upper elevator cable exit to the proper location for this aircraft. Just finished the touch up paint and will apply the 12's later tonight. I also have begun to weather the upper wing.

It's usually good to be forced to stop working on a model for a short while so you can take a step back and have a look at what you are doing. I get too rushed many times and forget to include something - a seat cushion for my Hanriot, for example.

Post by: RAGIII on April 25, 2019, 08:55:47 AM: These will be the last update photos prior to the completed post. I have finished all of the rigging(just need to trim a couple of wire attachments and paint turnbuckles). I have added the details to the Lewis mount and once the Map roller and touch up are done she is finished.

The only Modifications were the Pulsometer and some tubing in the interior, the Map and Roller, relocating the upper elevator control wire exit ports, and the Lewis gun mount mods.
