This was a straight out of the box build.  One of the easier Roden kits.  I used Tamiya and Vallejo paints.

The only issue I had was with the decals being a bit brittle.  I must learn to paint National insignias myself.  Some minor weathering with graphite. You are left with a lot of extra parts on the K sprue and I really like that even though they are for a Sopwith Camel

Very nice! As I always say, “You can never have too many Nieuport”.

That's lovely! There's something utterly charming about the Nieuport and your model brought a big smile to my face.

Excellent build!  Nice paintwork and assembly.  I agree about all the nice extras parts Roden includes with their kits. They are instrumental for the vac kits I build.

Excellent little Nieuport. I am glad the 24 was not too difficult of a build in this scale. The 1/32nd scale version is one of their Most Challenging !

As Radarman said, one can never have too many Nieuports!  Beautiful build. Are the markings from the kit decals?
