Nearly done and looking terrific. Having been playing fishing line, micro drills and superglue today I can really appreciate the wonderfully precise rigging!

thanks richie, i made a jig for drilling all the upper wing holes from an evergreen strip, this helped ensure all the holes were the same distance away from the struts

thanks to all for the comments on the Nieuport build, the finish line has now been crossed with this build. The rudder decal was way oversize and trimming it back caused a couple of small tears but i can live with that for now, i need to man up and start painting rudders rather than trusting kit decals as this seems a fairly common occurrence with some manufacturers. Had to make a new step from stretched sprue other than that no real dramas towards the end of this build and i'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

More pics are in the completed models section

The Nieuport fighters are small enough in 1/32nd scale so I can't even imagine tackling one in 1/72nd. Your Nieuport has turned out Beautifully!
