Rick, as I admire your Nieuport I keep forgetting just how small it is.
Super job on the rigging.  She really looks great! Well done.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hello, RAGIII -

Good, steady progress resulting in a great looking N.28.  Your rigging looks excellent on this as well.

Regards

Thanks Mike,
I hope by interesting paint scheme you mean something other than Rickenbackers 12  ::)

Thanks Ed! I agree about the schemes. The 28 is a sleek bird with graceful lines!! Somewhere in the distant future I would like to do another one as Erroll Flynns Bird from The Dawn Patrol, clipped wings ,I  struts, bumblebee markings on a Silver Doped/Grey airframe, British roundels......

Yes, one of my favorite EF movies (real a/c) and of course the Bumble Bee !!!! have been tempted to do one myself.

Just a quick verbal update, pictures will follow later this evening. I have finished the rigging. ( Just need to represent turnbuckles), and all of the stenciling is on. I am a couple of clear coats and a little touch up away from Sticking a Fork in this one  8)

Brilliant, RAGIII -

In my opinion, this is your best model that I have seen so far.  Lovely kit from Roden this one as well.
