Simply gorgeous, Jeff!  I did this same scheme years ago, so I have a soft spot in my heart for it.  You did a wonderful job on it.
Cheers,
Bud

That is a cracking Nieuport Jeff!

I am currently sanding my way through the ESCI 17 and if I get it half as good as yours I will be happy!

Great looking build Jeff. Nice introduction. There's a good Canadian contingent here, myself included, that will all be loving this.

Hello Jeff,

This is an amazing, beautiful build. The Nieuports are my favourite planes and you made a cracker of this one. Congratulations!

Kind regards

Thank You All for the nice comments. The Eduard Nieuports and Albatros kits really nice kits I've come to like a lot. Getting close to starting on one of those WNW things !

   What Lindsay said, Jeff, and this member of the Canadian Contingent likes it a lot! I have this one in the earlier version of this scheme in my display case from my 1:48 days and it's not as well finished as this, you've done a masterful job on one of Eduard's best. What did you use for the main silver dope finish?
Cheers,
Lance

You can never have enough Nieuports!  You have done a masterful job of
yours, Jeff.  Your talents are obvious.  As Bo mentioned, she looks great in the sunlight.
  I hope to see more of your work. Well done!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

While I think of it, Jeff, what colour did you use for the blue cowling? Please tell me it's a straight Tamiya acrylic! Did you shoot the roundels on it, too?
