very nice detailing. What do you think of the CSM kit?

Thank you all for your comments. I think it's a very good kit, comparable with WNW with a great attention to interior details. If relly looking for weak points, engine is not as fine as its counterpart but still well done and there is no suggestion about the colours, its greatest strength is clever engeneering and a gorgeous instruction booklet.

Sorry for pictures low quality, I've been working on my early Ni17 even needing some retouching before advancing to next steps.
The cockerel is hand drawing over stenciled white silhouette.

Thank you Mark, here is a detai of the (almost) finished central wing section.
Some retouching still due.

Awesome work. I hadn't thought about the wire bracing so glad you posted this shot. I would have forgotten it on my GB Nieuport

Thank you for visiting Rick, I still need to install a plaque on the lower central junction of the wings at the forward gun support. I ruined the first transparents trying to install them with a supposed "non crazying" cyano, then redone with white glue. On second thaught if I will be building another plane with acetate windows on the wings I will try to soften the clear part with heat before installation but this still need to be tested.

Giuseppe,
Outstanding works my old friend. I'm most impressed with your paint,just awesome. For the upper wing glazing you might try to find a canopy glue. I'm not certain who makes the stuff but it works very well. As a added plus it dries flats so it's difficult to notice over flat paint. Keep up you excellence!
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Thank you Bill and Gregory. I will try and gather a real canopy glue for next builds.
