Super aluminium finish there Rick. Nice to see an aircraft in Russian markings too - an interesting change from the western front!

Thanks Stephen. I was originally going to do a LaFayette  Bird but decided it would be too similar to the 17 and "to be finished" 24.

Small update. I drilled , painted, and attached the exhaust. No fit problems created by my altering the section over the MG. I also have attached the cabane and interplane struts. If all goes well I will mount the upper wing tomorrow.

Making great progress on these two birds.  The aluminum really looks good on the Nieuport, and the markings are very interesting.
The engine detail looks very good on the Pfalz.

Can't wait to see the top wing mounted on Pfalz

Thanks Terri! I am undecided as to which aircraft will be on the bench today. Probably the first one I can uncover from all of the Debris!

Here you go Terri. I would love to say all went well but it is My Model so there had to be a Disaster....Right?  I tried mounting the upper wing last night. Total wing collapse....really ugly, knocked off the elevator and several PE parts  It was then that I remembered having the "Spare" early style Interplane struts from WNW. I drilled larger locating holes and after a couple of beers all went well! So now I just need to fix the damage

While debating some things on My other builds I have placed all of the major rigging wires into place on the Pfalz. Just need to tighten them tomorrow.
