Patrick & Ernie's mini group build...construction, Warning long post!

Patrick, this is your best model to date; way to go with all the fiddly details and custom decals. You can be proud of this little nieuport!

Hi Bo,

I wasn't that proud of my build, but all you nice people gradually made me be proud of it in the end. Especially all these great modelers like you. And besides Ernie was of such great help to me! Thank you!

Kind regards
Patrick

Ernie & Patrick:

Thanks for showing us the way for this kit, and producing two little 1/32 gems in the process.  Beautiful models, beautifully done! .  Outstanding effort and result Gentlemen.

I've got 3 or 4 of these in the stash, and you've certainly inspired me to start in on Jean Navarre's 872, the one with the red fuselage and camo wings, as soon as my bench is clear again.  It has displaced the DH.2 on my build list.   You've both set a very high bar though!

Cheers & huzzas,

Bob

Extraordinary work all 'round, Patrick!  As Bo said, this is your best yet.  In spite of your airbrush problems, the finish is beautiful and those custom decals really set it apart.  Congratulations, my friend.
Cheers,
Bud

Hello Bob and Bud,

Thank you both my friends. As usual your comments are very nice and kind and it is really much appreciated. It certainly is a lovely aircraft as all the Nieuports were. I would be glad to follow your builds of one of them. I must admit that thanks to Ernie I overcame some major problems. Thank you again gentlemen for your kind words.

Kind regards
PAtrick

Patrick, Ernie,
   Once again I have to comment on this beautiful pair of "Noops"! You've taken very basic (marginal??) kits and produced lovely replicas. Lots of patience, skill, and improvisation on display here; congratulations to both of you, beautiful results!
Cheers,
Lance

Hello Ernie and Patrick:

Great job on both of these.  Ernie, thanks for sharing your work on the interior and the instruments.  Really adds a lot to the model and a testament to your modeling skills.  I built the Amodel one of these using your same techniques, pin everything and it turned out pretty good.  Patrick yours is truly another outstanding build.  The home made decals and the strking blue scheme make for an interesting build.  Like Ernie the instruments add to the overall appeal of the aircraft.  Nicely done guys.

Best

Mark
