Eduards N-17 1/48
« on: June 21, 2014, 09:41:07 AM »
I did this one last year as a quick build out of the box except for the rigging which is wire hoop and cotton buds I also notice that the tail feather control lines are no longer taught . Will need to fix this .

Wonderful little Nieuport, Terri.  One of my favourite
aeroplanes and you nailed it. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hi Terri

I think Ernie is spot on with his comments. This is a fine piece of work that really captures the spirit of a wonderful aircraft.

Best wishes
Nigel

Lovely work as always Terri.

Inspires me to drag my Academy N17 out the stack of hanger queens and do some.. No wait that might cause a disturbance, the stack is high and precarious.  :o

Hello Terri:

Neat little Nieuport.  I like your shading on the wings and tail feathers.  Great job.

Best

Another little beauty, T!  I love your preshading on this one.  Really brings the aluminum doped finish to life.
Cheers,
Bud

Very nice, Ma'am!

Always a treat to see your work, and especially so when it is a Nieuport.
