The finish on the wings and cowling is really incredible. How you modellers manage to achieve such subtle weathering effects is beyond me - whenever I try I end with a mess!

This is going to be another of your winners Lance. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Stephen,
    Thanks for your encouraging and supportive comments, presently I'm struggling a bit with some details, it a very "basic" Kit and I could use some of your Scratch Building skills! More to follow soon hopefully ........ :-\

   I made a bit of progress yesterday on some of the finer details. The cabanes were added with some scrap PE Brackets on their attachment points and, after several different approaches the fabric strips that partially cover the stitching in the upper cowling area were done with Tamiya Tape and thin CA. The Machro mode photos are, as always, pretty brutal!







   Mounting of the upper wing can't be avoided much longer however the Aldis Sight will have to be "scratched" and mounted to the underside of the wing before it's installed.
Cheers,
Lance

Those macro shots show some excellent modelling - nothing brutal there. Such wonderful detail - a master at work.

Very nice progress, Lance, I love it. You can be very proud of your Nieuport!
Can't wait to see her with the upper wing and the resin wheels on. I never liked the kit's wheels...

Thank you Borsos. Yes, the resin after market wheels are a great improvement on the kit ones, not only more accurate but proper scale as well.
Cheers,

Looks fine to me. Nice progress. The covering of the stitching looks very convincing to me.

Manni,Juan,
    Thanks for looking and for commenting, I'm presently working at the installation of the wind screen, some adjustments will be required as the rear cabanes interfere with it and will need to be trimmed. On the side the Aldis Sight is completed and the Lewis Gun and Foster Mount are more or less ready to go. A few simple photos later today hopefully.
Cheers,
Lance
