Thanks so much Phillip, Des and Guy.  Your kind comments are much
appreciated!  Yes Guy, I have begun the Pfalz.  I'll start a build log before
too long. :)

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Ernie you did a fantastic job, I look forward to enjoying some detail photo (especially the cockpit with the rearview mirror...) in the Completed Models section.

Ciao

Looks good Ernie:

I like your undercarriage support brackets.  Adds additional interest to that area.  This is not an easy model to build and you did an outstanding job.  I really like the contrast between the upper wing being painted camouflage and the rest silver.  Really a striking scheme and your preshading with silver turned out perfect.

Best

Rick, Antonio, Steve, Nigel & Mark, thank you for your generous
comments.  The Nieuport, besides one of my favourite aeroplanes,
was a fun build with no terrible problems. The Academy kit is a great
kit for a newer WWI modeller.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
