Very nice progress on the fuselage, Rick. i am pretty much on the same point as you are and went through equal experiences regarding the side panels. That’s one of the trickier aeras with this kit I think. Great eye for the detail when it comes to the holes for the elevator control lines!
Best regards
Andreas

Side panels attached as well as the upper decking. Some filling will be required but I am sure it is my construction not the kit. I have learned some things I will do differently on the next one

Hey Richard, looking very good, and great fit of the upper cowl)
just do not overfill side panels, they should stick out a bit, as they were plywood "cheeks"

Catching up again Rick: the wood finish in the cockpit is truly first class. What a pity most of the detail will not be easily seen.... - could you have left the side panels off so that we could see it more clearly?

Thanks Edgar! I will be careful not to overfill the join of the forward and rear fuselage

Thanks Stephen! As always I appreciate your comments. Yes I believe the panels can/could be left off , actually seems to be designed to accommodate that. On the other hand a lot more details would need to be added. I don't like leaving panels open as I appreciate the closed up lines of most WW1 aircraft. Just My preference.

I have progressed on the Nieuport 17. I added some PE to the aileron control exit ports that I had re positioned earlier. I also filled, sanded, and re scribed the front/rear fuselage join. I then sprayed all major surfaces with Model Master Gull Grey as a primer prior to some subtle pre shading.

Looking good Rick, too bad the beautiful office is mostly covered now. Looking forward to your progress on both.

Great progress on the fuselage Rick. You installed the forward panels perfectly. I am keen on seeing this one finished! Do you already know what you are going to use for the aluminium dope?
Best regards

Thanks for the comment Andreas. I have an Old Tin of XTRA color 252 Weiss Aluminum that I am going to use. The forward upper deck is already done in this color.
