Now you have me wondering, Patrick.  I'm sure it would be ok, but maybe get some other opinions before diving in.  Despite what I have told my wife, I have been wrong before.

Cheers,
Ernie

Patrick,
Very nice work on the wing camo! You have done an excellent job with the demarcations between colors!!

Thank you so much Rick, I owe a great deal to you. Do you think I could paint a new layer of light green above the clear one?
Thanks a lot my friend!

Kind regards
Patrick

Patrick. Are the "Spots" what I see just to the right of the Black Footprint? If so since the roundel will cover this area I would just give a light sanding with 8000 grit micromesh or similar product and re gloss. If it is necessary to repaint then I would think it is OK to paint over the gloss depending on what paints you are using. You could always shoot some color on a little sheet plastic, gloss it and then try painting over the gloss just to be sure. I hope this is helpful,

Hi Rick,

Thank you my friend. I'll try it out and I'll see how close the roundels come.

Kind regards

What he said. . The wing gives a very pleasing appearance--great soft colors and tone!  Well done Patrick.

Hello Bob and Martin,

G'day, Patrick.

This model is coming together nicely, mate.  I also like the colours you used for the wing, would you mind telling us which colours you used?  But I really like your cockpit.  You've done the rigging very well and I like the colours you used.

As for the spots, this has happened to me when using Future/One Go/ Kleer on humid days (and sometimes with Humbrol Matt varnish as well). With Future, another light coat over the spots can make them disappear (it also works if decal setting solution has made the Future go cloudy).  Or you could incorporate the spots into weathering, if you are going to weather the model?

You're doing well, Patrick.

Hello Dal,

Thank you very much for your appreciation. I'm very pleased with them. The cockpit although not bad doesn't come close to the one you did. The colors were a great problem to me because it was the first time I did the French Camo. Now Bo advised me to look at the instruction booklet of the WnW Salmson and looking at the schemes I really found there what I was looking for. I used all Tamiya acrylics

Patrick, I wonder if you could repaint the areas with the spots with the original colours,
then try the varnish again?  The dividing line between colours is very nicely done. Could
you tell me what you used for the CDL?  Good work, my friend.  I look forward to the next
steps.

Cheers,
Ernie

Ernie I forgot to answer your question about the CDL :

Tamiya acrylic "Buff" XF57


Kind regards my friends
Patrick

Thanks Patrick...the Buff is a good choice.

Hello,

I finally decided to have a try in modifying the pilot's seat myself, so Ron is a bit more at ease. I can use its (much better!) seat in another Nieuport later on. I tried to make it look a bit worn. It's my first experiment with those slats and the miniput. Thank you for stopping by.

Kind regards
Patrick

Patrick,
You have done a BEAUTIFUL job on modifying the seat! I tried but came no where near your results! Lovely work!!

Hi Rick,

Now that's a very conforting appreciation. Glad you like it. It's not coming near Dal's seat, but I will be glad now to incorporate it in the interior. Many thanks my friend!

Kind regards
Patrick
