Reini78 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 #8/2021 One of my dad´s rare excursions to WW1. Eduard kit, silver dope painted with Tamiya Aluminium, metal engine covers with Tamiya Titanium Silver, EZ line (the thicker one) for rigging. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235089143-end-of-an-era148-nieuport-17-imperial-russian-air-service/ Aircraft flown by Donat A. Makeenok, 7th Fighter Detachment, summer 1917.

shortCummins Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 excellent build log and she turned out really well rgds John(shortCummins) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Uehlinger Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Fantastic Work! Although I usually work in 1/72, I do have an Eduard 1/48 Nieuport. ITs hard not to love the old Nieuport, which I believe is perhaps the most Beautiful of All World War One aircraft. The Imperial Russian Air Service had Nieuports - and their Engines - built on License at the DUX works - which I believe Was not far from St Petersburg. Your Dad should do more work in WW1 Aircraft! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Very neat Nieuport indeed, and the finish is impeccable. Perhaps the control wires might have looked more to scale in a finer dimension, such as www.uschivdr.com/products-in-detail/rigging/. EZ line being flat doesn't quite convince… Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrzeM Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Very nice build! By the way, pilot of this Nieuport was in fact Donat Makijonek, a Pole (name "Makeenok" is just artificial English transcription of the Russian letters). After the WWI he served in Polish aviation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donat_Makijonek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot! Yes, it´s a beautiful aircraft and luckily has not much rigging. That´s the main reason my dad doesn´t do more WW1 stuff 😄 12 hours ago, Spitfire31 said: Very neat Nieuport indeed, and the finish is impeccable.

For him the easiest to work with is EZ line, although, as you mentioned it isn´t completely round but more flat. 11 hours ago, SAT69 said: A very well done build!
