Bit hard to tell what the issues are with just the one solitary image, please let us know what problems you are having as there are members here who may be able to help you, we have some very talented modelers here who are all willing to share their knowledge. BTW, what you have done so far looks really good.

Yes, it looks very good to me too! I'd link to see it finished. Can you post more pics and explain what the issues are? Please excuse my ignorance, but specifically what aircraft is this? Is this a Nieuport 28?

  Dmether,
As Des stated it's difficult to tell what issues your having from a single photograph. However what we can observe is outstanding my friend. I hope you will post more on the issues causing you grief. No doubt there are many ready willing and able to help you in any possible way. I  would love to see more of your beautiful Nieuport 28 and even better fully complete.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Welcome aboard, Dmether.  The Nieuport 28 is one of the most beautiful aircraft of WWI and will be truly impressive in 1/16 scale.  I think you're off to a brilliant start on her.  As Des said, please post more photos.  I'm sure we can help you through whatever issues you're having.
Cheers,
Bud

I am humbled by the responses.  I will post some pictures tomorrow on the difficulties I am encountering on the build.  Very glad I joined this forum, there are some true Master Model Builders here.
