WOW Xan, fantastic idea! the metal lines stop the sanding paper to give the plane an "angled" look more than a "round" look...
I love that intuition!

I have this kit, but I am sure I won't be able to make a similar thing!

You really did a great job on the fuselage, Xan! A very good idea!
Best regards

Hi everybody!

I went on with the front side.

the morane AI front side is organized in three parts just liike in this Morane type P:



Below, a fixed part in 1, upper fixed part in 2 and a mobil lateral part in 4 with hinges in each side (3)

first the low part done with palstic card, surfacer and aluminium tape



then I usde plastic card to represent the lateral parts. i wanted to represent that metal parts take the fuselage form



then the upper part , only with surfacer





The Navarre Morane is a MoS 30 type , unarmed trainig plane, so i don't know if I had to represent the hinges in 2. in the doubt I did....

then archer rivets and hinges.

I didn't like at all the archer hinges effect so I did them again :



find it better:



final result:



hinges are a little bit oversize but below the wing, it will be OK
akyway better that how it was at the begining...



next step , the engine and the cowling

Xan

That is very clearly a reference build of that kit - a true master at work!

Beautiful work so far Xan, but so sad to see what Navarre looked like in 1915 and then in 1918.  I have a more than passing interest in him, so will watch this build with great interest, hopefully it will inspire me to get back to work on my N11

Xan, what all the others have said: A really amazing build and I am deeply impressed how you corrected the fuselage.

Beautiful work, Xan!  Your modifications make the fuselage stringers look so much more realistic.
Cheers,
Bud

As always I agree completely!

And I make 3 !
