Tidy work. I have also noted the panel fasteners on the oval panel.

I've got a roll of self adhesive aluminium 'heat retardant' tape Frank. (It's a big roll and you're more than welcome to some if it helps) I've used it for hinge details on 1/72 and was just playing with using some on a 72nd Nieuport. Although it looks a bit shiny as it comes it can be toned down by sanding with very fine wet or dry paper. Thickness is about the same as Sellotape.

This build is very striking, I'm rather enjoying it despite my total ignorance of the type!

Exceptional work on what has to rank as one of the Oddest of the French Designs

Thanks for the suggestion Paul!
I have such big shiny roll. I have tried to use it, but had later a big problem. With weathering the model with thinned oil paints the glue below the foil was washed out has formed nodules

So I had to replace the stripes.

I was also not sure if alu or linen, but your suggestion is another voting for alu

Zac, I must admit a Nieuport biplane is more elegant but I like to setup a collection of triplanes. The crazy Quadruplane also fits into this series.

Rick, I think the Triplane of the Nieuport 10 (which is also on my list) is more ugly?

Thanks,
Frank

Just found this one, Frank. Wow, you're doing some seriously good work here. I'm thinking the 'plane is looking a bit strange - but, of course! It's because you haven't mounted the tailplane yet. It'll look perfectly normal then!!
