Looks great amigo !  Weathering is just right and the figure really sets it off !!!

 Finally got back here to the forum-had computer problems, also will send you a pm later.

Thanks Amigo. Great to have you back!

Of course, I agree with our Amigo!  It's perfect!  I wish I could paint figures.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks Andreas your comments are appreciated! I have made slight progress. All of the main rigging wires are tightened and trimmed and I have worked a bit more on the pilot.

Thanks Mark ! I have had an Andreas Moment. In previous photos of the left side there is a dark streaky area that looked sort of like weathering. In reality a series of stupid mistakes led to an uneven off color section on the fuselage. I finally did what I needed to do which was sand and re spray that offending section. I feel MUCH better now 8)

Catching up Rick after having been away. The pilot really adds a touch to make that a different and outstanding model. What a lovely pair of Nieuports!

Thanks for looking in Stephen. So far just one Nieuport  8) These will be the last photos prior to completion. Rigging is done except for painting the wires and adding Turnbuckles from white glue.

 Rick,
Now that's one outstandingly beautiful Nieuport my old freind. Looks like CSM has well truly surpassed the old Hobbycraft 17. Isn't your Nieuport piloted my an American? I can't remember the Gentleman's name but I'm certain he was an American. Looking forward to the Nieuport 24. I have the kit and will need a good example to follow.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Thanks Gregory Old friend. Yes on both counts. The CSM Nieuport 17 is leagues above the old Hobby Craft kit and yes it was flown by several Americans. Dudley Hill is the one I was thinking of when I did the weathering.

Absolutely gorgeous, Amigo!  First one I've seen in non-kit markings and I love it!  A one of a kind masterpiece.
Cheers,
Bud
