It's a lot of hard work but all justified when you see it like this.

Looking good Rick, my Pfalz will be my first silver dope aircraft.

That weathering is spot on - beautiful AND realistic.

Thanks. I am getting closer now. Only 3 rigging lines for rudder and elevator controls, and the MG wiring are left to do. Then the final clear coat!

[RAGIII]

I have finished the rigging and applied the final clear coat. Just need the wires from the Gun to the cockpit to finish this one.

Great finish Rick, I'm looking forward to my first silver finish.
I have 2 Academy Nieuports 17s in the stash, I doubt they will look this good.

Thanks Nigel. I have finished the build but it seems Post Images is having an issue so I will wait a bit before I try posting the final shots!

Man, that is just beautiful. Looks absolutely right - almost ready to spin the prop and get up after them Boche!

Great weathering effects. Lovely.

As I always say, "You can never have too many Nieuports". Great tribute!

Lovely job all round, you made what can be a potentially boring scheme look very interesting. The figure complements the build very well and I really like the base as well. Great job!

[Allan31]

Great job Rick, truly inspiring.

[DaddyO]

Great to see another RFC Nieuport doming to the show and what a fabulous job you've made of it
