Bughunter Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Nieuport 17 "Flyboys" My second finished model of 2018 is a Nieuport 17 in the colors of the movie "Flyboys", which was build from a "Limited Edition" kit of Eduard in 1/48. Beside the kit (which do not contain any PE) I used a PE set of the normal Profipack. Other used aftermarket parts are a rotary engine from Small Stuff, a Lewis and turnbuckles from Gaspatch and a Vickers PE set from Part. The V-struts, skid, windscreen and airscrew are made from real wood and some parts, e.g. the cowlings are created on my lathe. Alclad metallics and Gunze acryls are used for the painting and oils for the weathering. And now have fun with the virtual tour around the model! The cowling was needed because the engine is in scale, so it could not rotate in the thick plastic cowling (in original aircraft thin metal). The milled cooling openings: The Vickers is soldered from a Parts kit, real openings in the cooling jacket! The oil and fuel caps are turned on lathe. And now I'm very curious to know your opinion about this colorful Nieuport! Cheers, Frank 58 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
