Eduard 1/72nd Nieuport 17 Batch Build

[WD]

Thank you very much Fredril & Alexis!

Nothing like digital photos blown up big on a screen to show you your errors, no? 

There's something about it I'm still not quite satisifed with. Alexis thinking either a very light overspray of my alu-dope mix or a very, very thin mix of light grey or white might tie it all in better.

Thoughts anyone?

Hi Warren
To me the finish still looks a tad dark (although that may be just the photos) so I'd try another thin coat to lighten it up a bit

Very interesting paint job. It looks excellent for me.

Thank you Andreas! Since then I've gone over it very lightly with a very dilute solution of the aluminum dope mix (4:1 Tamiya LP11 and Tamiya flat white) and then a very, very dilute mix of flat white to blend it in and try to unify it. I'll post photos later this evening.

Well, a bit more progress on my Eduard Nie. 17 build. My first time ever masking for roundels as I don't like the colors Eduard offers on theirs, nor anyone else's for that matter. I made some mistakes, some which can be corrected, some not, but I to am driving forward nevertheless.



As always, criticism, feedback, etc. welcome.

Roundels look good, I think. Well done on the masking!
