invidia Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Academys 1/32 nieuport 17, An older kit, sanded the ribs off and replaced with fine tape, scratch built most of the cockpit and used a eduard brassin vickers gun. painted using vallejo metal paints, first time i had used them, very good. I was going to use the kit decals, but they were some of the worst i have ever seen, very thick, only stuck in a few places, and sol and set had no chance. so it sat on the shelf of doom!!! found some begemot decals for nieuport 21s. finished as see, the model was to far advanced to modify the cowling. i know its wrong for a nieuport 21. pleased with the result. thanks for looking 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invidia Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 nice job! haven´t seen that roundels before, which nation do they represent? russian civil war, aircraft was captured by bolshevik forces and the roundels were painted over. almost the first version of the soviet red star. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom.boom Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I love it! Especially the theme, extraordinary ! I just would go, at least, with little bit of weathering. Those machines were not spared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Very nice build and interesting markings! The rib tapes make for a much more realistic impression than exaggerated peaks and vallies. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
