Some progress made. I attached the upper wing but while doing so I managed to plug all of the pre drilled rigging holes. It took some effort and a few beers to re drill the holes...not without some minor damage. Major rigging is now finished bt will need to do some touch up and repair.

Looks great Rick, too bad for those 12 oz soldiers....

Just awesome, Rick. I really like the wooden mid section on that top wing. Neat job all around!

These camouflaged Nieuports always make me want to start another one immediately. Beautiful finish all around and perfectly chosen colors!
Cheers,
Andreas

Even closer now Amigo. Only the tail control wires , tail skid, and a few bits on the Machine Gun Mount....and waiting on some Maps I ordered that I hope I can make work

These will be the last update photos prior to the completed post. I have finished all of the rigging(just need to trim a couple of wire attachments and paint turnbuckles). I have added the details to the Lewis mount and once the Map roller and touch up are done she is finished.

PS: Just remembered I need to add the Lewis Drum

Just wonderful Rick. Your model making mastery is a real tribute to this kit and the plane it depicts.
