  Jacek,
Outstanding Nieuport my friend.A beautifully done diorama as well. Seems to me the perfect setting for your Nieuports. I'll be looking forward to see the third Musketeer.

Simply stunning, Jacek!  How about the Karaya Nieuport 24 for the third?  Or maybe the Special Hobby Nieuport 10?
Cheers,
Bud

I think the best will fit in Ni-10 or Ni -16.  ;)

I have one question - how did the aeroplane make those tracks past the tree without knocking its wing off?

I think it must have been the alone fuselage without wings  ;D

Thanks Rob.
This is my second base done in my life. As a rule, I do not do any basis.

That`s a mighty good looking Ni! I like it very much a nice clean job, the weathering is great too - the oil stains from the rotary are very convincing!
What paint did you use? Silver or aluminium? I`m just curious...
Jacek there are never enough Nieuports in one`s collection so keep them coming!

For painting canvases I use a mixtures paint light gray and aluminum. I can not convinced to paint only aluminum, too much shine  :D
