Nieuport 17 early (1/32, Copper State Models)
« on: September 30, 2020, 03:28:17 AM »
My first CSM model and I hope not the last one. Quite a pleasant build so far (despite some unorthodox engineering): the cockpit assembly well under way, main struts ready, upper wing put together just like the rear fuselage - the seams are being treated.

Looking really good! Have you used tubing to 'lock' the wires attaching to the turnbuckles? That too looks really neat.

Thank you, Rick and Fredrik.

Yes, the turnbuckles are secured with tube sections.

And the cockpit is completed.

As always, I love to see a Nieuport being built. It's looking great.

Looking really nice Przemo!  What paint did you use for the blue parts?  Looks spot on to me. ;D  Carry on!

Best regards,

Bob

Excellent timing, I’ve just taken delivery of one of these, albeit the late one, so I can do Baracca’s mount again.

Bookmarked for reference 👍

Thank you, everybody.

The blue is a custom mix of Vallejo Azul mate and Gris claro. Roughly 2:1.

I continue with this build. Currently making up the mess with that unbelievable split of the fuselage into far too many elements.
