Oh boy, another Nieuport, great start. I've had such fun with mine I may do another.
Thanks,
Allan Buttrick

Thank you Allan and Nigel for checking in! Yes, this build is progressing slowly and I have the fuselage halves together, the seams cleaned up and numerous sink marks filled! An oily wash on the engine... It all adds to the fun... Photography not great, poor light...



...and it is amazing how little can be seen inside the cockpit, even in this scale...



Enjoy your modelling!
Regards,
Marc

Is it worth detailing those cockpits?  ;D I found the same as you when I closed up my Nieuport 28, hardly anything apart from the seat is visible! Like you I carefully marked out the fuselage panelling and you can't see it....

Still, you are making good progress here, that engine looks pretty good (assuming it's the Hobbycraft one).
