Terri, your Weathering is looking great (along with the rest I might add).

That is truly lovely.  I too like the subtle weathering.  Neat look on the cable openings in the fuse.

Well done.

Thank-you guys !

I didn't want to over do it with the weathering and I didn't highlight the rib tapes either . I used a grey wash  inand some areas  a rub of pastels with a light sand just on the stitching . Worked out rather well  ;D

I've been missing a few updates, this is coming beautiful. I really like your metalised painting and these livery and weathering are giving real life to your Nieuport.

Thanks Antonio  :)


Was able to finishing off making the turnbuckles and fixed them in place . I must say that this was a new challenge having to wear glass , but I pulled it off with a little frustration ( almost binned it  :-X ) .

Everything is ready to go for the rigging now . I glued the inter struts to the wing instead of the lower wing which is called out in the instructions . I found that it lined up better and less gluing points in the end . I haven't glued to the wing , engine , cowl and prop yet . They are fitting in place for the photos .


Next up-date I should have this wrapped up ....
