One more model of Der kampfflieger range, in this case is a 1/100 Nieuport 24C1 in colors of the ace Willian Herrison (11 victories)...

Another very nice looking model Péricles, what is the main reason that you build your models in 1:100 scale?

Thank's.

Many reasons, but the mainly is a lack of space for storage the finished models, the second is a search for scale between 1/144 and 1/72, 1/100 is easy for made scratchs too, since 1 meter equal 1cm. The challenge and surprise of small is very pleaseant too.

That's one great advantage to paper models. You can build them in any scale you wish, within reason. It's usually better to scale a model down than to up-res it, unless it's all in a vector format. Bit map textures will blur if you scale up.

Also, for some reason, common scales in paper are different than in plastic. Plastic will do 1/32, 1/48, and 1/72, while paper will do 1/33, 1/50, 1/60, and 1/100. But of course, as I said, paper can change to any scale with just a quick setting change on your printer.
