Nieuport XI Georges Pelletier d Oisy, N69, Lemmes, May 1916 CSM 1:32

Dear all,

I have finally finished the base for my Nieuport XI. The figure is a Kellerkind resin figure.





















On the left Copper State Models 2025, on the right Special Hobby 2018.

The construction process can be seen here: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=14800.0
Whoever is interested in more pics of the SH kit: https://kitchecker.com/bauberichte_1/nieuport_11_borsos.htm


Best regards,
Andreas

That's a nice looking build! I'm curious about the Kellerkind figure...is the head a separate piece?

Thanks Kreston. No, it?s a single cast figure.

Very nice presentation of the finished model Andreas. I think it's worth the extra effort to display models like this.

Simply stunning!

How did you achieve the metal effect on the cowl - looks magnificent!

Cheers,

Thank you so much Gary and Brad.

I tried to simulate  some wear on the cowling by carefully sanding some spots before painting with gloss black. The metallic shine is good old Alclad II (glossy Aluminium I think) over that base.

Two superb models as always. The vignettes turn these models into something rather special - the figures add real points of interest.

The finish on both models is excellent - as Brad has commented, the cowling is especially effective.
