Congratulations! This looks fantastic. The RFC Nieuports always interest me, so this is a real treat to see.  I especially like the weathered look, as the RFC machines often look quite grimy compared to their French or Italian cousins. And the excellent base is icing on the cake!   :D

Thanks Guys, I appreciate all of the comments! I do like the Dirty Look on this one. I was lucky that someone posted a bunch of photos of Bishops Nieuport 17 on FB which acted as an inspiration  8)

     Very nicely done Rick, and a most fitting tribute! The heavy weathering is a difficult challenge but this looks every bit the part. Nice work!
Cheers,
