The green is looking much better. Now I need to touch up the brown.

Your 2nd try definitely looks better. Masking camo is a pain.

Coming together quite nicely Jessie, the camo is starting to look really good now.

Yep, that second try worked fine for you.

Masking takes some time but does make the diference imo.

Cheers

Hi Jessie

I agree with Rob and Zabu that the second go has certainly paid dividends and all that hard work on your part was very worthwhile. It's looking good!

Best wishes
Nigel

  Jessie,
Great work on your little Nieuport my friend. It's always seems to be such a seldom seen build for some reason.I'm glad to see you on this wonderful little kit. Looking forward to see more.
Highest Regards,

Gift wrapped. I wonder what it is?
 
Oh! It's a Nieuport!
 
Isn't it cute?

The rules of the Aeroscale group build I'm participating in require some detailing to be done to the engine so I constructed a quick and dirty length template so I could cut some hypotube to make pushrods

She's coming along beautifully, Jessie.  Looks like you're almost ready to put the top wing on.  The camo looks lovely.
Cheers,

Remarkably few decals are needed to complete the colour scheme
