Upcoming Aero-Rarities Release (Pre-Order)
« on: February 10, 2025, 01:08:25 AM »
Forumites,
               A good Sunday morning to you, what a blessing today is. I've been working with Paul and Eric Fisher of Aero-Rarities to design and 3D-print some needed accessories to enhance my, and now your, build of the Eduard 1/72nd Nieuport 17.

One of the biggest stumbling blocks, to me at least, was the cowling included in this kit. It doesn't have the exhaust holes on the bottom and the sprue attachment points make it hard to clean up without buggering up the edge detail or the separation joint on the Type 2 cowling. Well, one thing has led to another and now we have a stupendously awesome set to enhance these builds. I only wish I was not as far along on mine so I could utilize the beautiful interior bits, but I sure will use them the next build.

I've been a really good boy and keeping my mouth shut about this.

Warren

Thanks Warren!

Here's a sample of what the packaging will look like:



This has been a fun project and is our inaugural upgrade set.  The next Aero Rarities 'Survival Pack', another personal commission from a fellow modeler, will involve a Sopwith.  PM me or drop us a note on our website if you have any special requests you'd like to see in 3D!

Paul,
       I cannot wait to get my hands on the final product, AND order the other upgrade for the Sopwith you're working on.  ;) :D :D :D
