!/72 scale HR model Nieuport 10 single seater.  Overall this was a pretty nice kit.

I did not like the 3 piece top  wing but it held together. Also I wish the outer  strut striations were marked. The black dots for the Belgian roundels were too small so I substituted larger ones. The windshield was from the Eduard Nieuport 17. control horns were scratch built.

Model represents 5th Esc Belgian air Force.  I could not find a photo to back this up.  Weathering was with graphite. Rigging was with .004 stainless steel wire.

Great job on an interesting subject. Nice to see an HR kit built, back in the day they did some great subjects.

Very nice model.
But it would present itself better against a clean background.  ;)

Nice colour scheme (and a tiny plane!).  Good job.
