Amazing work on the engine, Frank.

Do you have any special method to keep from losing the small parts while handling them and removing them from the sprues?

[Bughunter]

Thank you Ken!
I followed the detailed description by Eugeny as stated above.

The trick with the tabs on the small parts is very valuable
The small parts are already painted, but the small cutting area can be painted again afterwards.

Cheers,
Frank

Great work on the engine - what do you use to paint the copper tubing?

Thank you Brad and Terri!

what do you use to paint the copper tubing?

I used many different Alclad paints, this includes copper.
2 of my colors, copper and pale gold, are years old and now somehow spoilt, gone bad. But a friend lend me a fresh bottle, so I was able to continue.

Cheers,
Frank

Nice job on the prop Frank , you can still make out the grain which gives it great effect in this scale . Awesome !

Superb Frank, what else can I say.

Carving airscrews is not as easy as it looks but yours looks superb as always. The tonal differences look right to me - RFC airscrews were also varnished with a dark varnish which concealed the laminations.

Frank,
   Your last photo says it all; the way the pitch increases as it approaches the center of the prop was probably more of a challenge to replicate then usual. As one who carves his own as well I can really appreciate the work you've done here, beautiful job!
Cheers,
Lance

Wonderful work Frank. I have the Morane-Saulnier kit at 1/32 and looking forward to getting at it one day. Your version is very special and a great subject on skids for this wee plane.

I look forward to your progress.

Cheers

After looking at woodenpropellor.com  I would say you have the prop color correct.  Nice work on that.
Looks like French props are mostly dark brown, but in varying shades.

Thank you Terri, Rick, Juan, Stephen, Lance, Alistair and Ken!
Your great feedback means a lot for me.

Thanks for the investigation! Xan posted pics in my Flyboys Nieuport build report, and also Borsos showed some interesting pictures. Used both postings as guidance.

Hm, I should prepare the next update ...

Cheers,
Frank
