Thank You very much ladies and gentlemen.

I finally decided to go with the lighter blue decals. Edgar offered me to add a new decal sheet to my next order (need one or two motorcycles), but I want to finish this project in April (four months for a model is fast for me although Nigel and Joerg have finished their Nieuport long ago).

The 3D printed engine is a piece of art that falls together. The cylinders  would fit without glue (which I used in very small amounts). It is all in all the best 1:32 scale engine that I have ever had in my hands.


And it is a biplane finally. The upper wing fit is excellent like everywhere on this kit. But with a Nieuport I never have had huge problems to fit the upper wing, even with the 1:72 Toko kit.

Awesome work Andreas! The engine looks terrific, and the lighter decals are fine in My opinion!

Hi Andreas how are you!
I arrrived when you finish your model, I like it very much!
For the cat and the moon,  you choose the right shade for sure...
If sky were dark, it wouldn't be so much contrast etween the sky and the cat...

I think she is looking good Andreas, and you have some documentary evidence that your "mistake" ended up being the right choice!
