Well then, let's see how this goes! My first Eduard 1/48 WW1 model, following on from many 1/72s over the years and a handful of 1/28 Revells. Kit box and sprue shots: There are two versions in the box - N1531, Guynemer's fourth fighter, painted in plain aluminium dope with "Vieux Charles" written on black pennants hanging off the interplant struts. The second version, N1530, was the fifth aircraft and lacks Guynemer's iconic name for his aircraft anywhere in the livery, but has a green/brown camouflage on the upper surfaces of the wings. At this stage I am leaning towards N1531 because I feel that Guynemer's aircraft should have "Vieux Charles" on them somewhere. However my concerns at this stage are: 1) how to paint the tricolore on the aerodynamic nose cone. Looks like a trip to masking hell! 2) how to make the pennant look like a pennant However, while I try to figure these things out, I will get on with the basics. Rigging will be drill 'n' fill. I looked at using buckles but this is such a tiny model that it would be gilding the lily.
