Greetings Larsa!

Nicely done! I look forward to hearing about your win! No doubt she will place well.




There is many good modeller here in Sweden, so I have no big hopes on that, but If I remember to bring the camera you can have a short report

Hi Hugh
The rigg will be done in my usual way.
Tiny loops made from wire( twinloops for flyingwires)
turnbuckles from stretched sprues
Gold-Zack elastic thread. Check the DH4 thread and you have a little hint there.

Hi Folks
Here is the last update on the build of Rodens Nieuport. The build have been going for eight weeks. That’s very fast from my bench, so if I’ll had another week or two I’ll have done more in the cockpit and masked my own insignias.

Building the Nieuport has been very enjoyable and without any big troubles. I give big credits to Roden for an excellent kit. This is the first kit I’ll recommend builders to start with if they are will to try a biplane. So from here it’s up to you, critics and comments are off course very welcome.
Now I will spend some days with the family and have some vacation with them (they need that). So what’s next? You will see me in the D1 albatross thread.

Just about half done. Lots of little louvres to put in. The Part of Poland set is extensive. It easily doubles the amount of parts and pieces for the build.

I seriously doubt she is 1/32.

Your build inspired me to add this to my collection. I actually plan on building it as soon as I figure out the French 5 color colors.

That helps. I will be doing Numerous 5 color schemes in the future.

But what I was trying to figure out is the actual colors. I know there is really no exact answer to this ageless mystery. I just want to know what colors to use without having to mix them up. Close approximations that are readily available. Acrylic or enamel.

Even though Larsa's build is completed I would like to take a moment and thank him for his voluntary effort in this build.

So, for your precise knowlege and dedication to the subject at hand, for your fearless and forthright dedication to historical facts and fundamentals, for your clear as crystal methods of communications and benevolent offerings to the forum, you have been conferred upon, the high exalted order of eplurius unum, post hoc - ergo proctor hoc, ven venuti vetalum, illigitimus non carborundum, 1st class admiration of your peers. With all the rights and priviledges therof.

This build is also on the front page under "Features".
