Hello dear fellow modellers,
Due to my recent changing from being a modeller to being a nurse my modelling time was cut extremely short. But things got better again and there’s some hours left to finish this one:
CSM‘s Nieuport is a lovely kit that makes aftermarket items completely superfluous in my opinion. I build it oob except from some fishing line for the rigging.
The mechanic standing on the wheel (great unique pose) is from the CSM range of resin figures. They are fantastically sculpted and flawlessly cast in dark grey resin. For bringing a little extra, I changed the heads for hornet heads and sculpted a bonnet de police 1916 style. His helper is a new Kellerkind figure. I changed the brush in his hand for a wrench.
The pilot, Monsieur Herbelin, is also a CSM offering. I changed his head as well for a hornet head where I added a flying helmet. The original head wears an officer‘s kepi, and I wanted my pilot getting ready immediately before taking off
I enjoyed this project from the beginning to the end and I am keen on any new CSM kits, especially the Nieuport 21....
Best regards
Andreas
