Hi Jorgo!
Beautiful work!
This is the real one:

You can compare!
Maybe the rubber of the wheels are too on the grey side (grey rubber appear in german a/c near the end of the war).
Compliments at full throttle!

Hi friends,
finally I started painting on the excellent CSM Italien ace figure. Originally it was said to be Baracca,  that´s why I scribed the face a little slimmer (Ruffo di Calabria appears to have a narrower face)




(I am still practicing, sorry)

Cheers,
Jörg

Continuing to look great. Your work on the Ribbons  is incredible, IMHO!

Hi Jorgo!
Fantastic idea to add Fulco Ruffo di Calabria near the Nieuport!
The only thing that you have to know is that during WWI our pilots/personnel kept the uniforms of the Regiments they came from when they entered in the Aviation of the Royal Army. I think you follow the instruction of the figure, the red collar was right for Francesco Baracca because he came from "Piemonte Cavalleria" that had this color as a Regiment one. Fulco Ruffo di Calabria came from "11° Cavalleggeri di Foggia" that had black/red collar as colors. You may find here if you scroll down the page: http://www.uniformology.com/RUHL-20.html
Another think is that about ribbons. Here https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulco_Ruffo_di_Calabria  there is a photo of Ruffo with his collection of ribbons, the three stars on the right arms indicated that is a late war photo, as Captain. When he used the Ni.17 he was Lieutnant (Tenente) as the photo in the low part of the Wikipedia page, but he sports only two lines of ribbons.
Last thing is about color of the uniform. It was in italian word "grigioverde" literally translated as "greygreen". There is no a "perfect" reference for this color, but it was more on the green side than the one I see from my computer that you choose. http://www.esercito.difesa.it/storia/pagine/uniformi-della-prima-guerra-mondiale.aspx (the one on the left is a pilot)
Hope useful!
Roberto

Thank you for your kind  comments!

Roberto, your notes are very useful. I am a greenhorn belonging to italien uniforms, so I was only guided by photos from the web. I will geht a new figure and paint it correctly (as Ruffo di Calabria). So a „Barraca“ is first placed next to the Nieuport 😉

Cheers
Jörg

Lovely, inspiring build and a beautifully painted figure. I have one of these in the stash, nice to see what an elegant model can be made from the kit.
