CSM nieuport XI - N558
« on: March 16, 2025, 09:34:52 PM »
Another finished Nieuport, This time N558 from the early boxing. I used XF-57 buff for the linen in this build and it won Silver at the Leeds Open Model Show. Slight gap on the cowling as im going to replace its engine and prop with Proper Plane examples and didn't want to superglue it in place

A very nice climatic vignette. And deservedly awarded.
