Got to agree with Andonio and Juan - that looks really good.

Stephen.

Thanks Stephen, greatly appreciated. By the way in case anyone is wondering, No the rigging is not complete, just in position to be tightened  8)

Nice update, weathering is giving a more operative look.

Further progress. I have added the final parts including the upper wing Lewis converted to a Mk.I using parts from WNW. All that is left is to do the final weathering and finish the rigging. The pilot figure is from Manta and this kit may inspire me to actually finish the Figure  ???

The weathering really adds to the look.  The pilot figure looks awesome!
I would like to see it photographed against a background of another color, if possible.  The white background tends to overpower the details.

Thanks for the comment. I will try to include a couple of shots using a light blue background ehen I do the final photo shoot.

Great looking Nieuport Rick.

Bill

Thanks Bill, greatly appreciated. I have more or less finished the weathering and am almost finished with the pilot  ::) I will ask this here and on the proper WW1 aircraft questions section. I saw a post on FB recently that indicated French Aircraft had the rigging wires painted blue, I would assume light Horizon Blue. A photo of an "un restored" Caudron from the Smithsnian  was posted as proof. So as I have never seen any other mention of this what do you all think? Xan?
