Hi,
Let me introduce Ni 17 of Fulco Ruffo di Calabria, one of the top Italian Aces with 20 victories (5th place). It was flown in 91 Squadrilia known as the "Aces' Squadron".
The Eduard Profipack was a really extensive part to work with and can easily recommend to all of you.
I had used MM Aluminum for the wings and part of fuselage with the final layer of acrylic Parta. The area behind the engine was painted Humbrol 11.
I have also made more genuine view of the plane using the dry pigments
Enjoy

I really like how the MM aluminum turned out on your Nieuport, I'll have to remember that. Nice touch on the over painted roundels too. I also really like the italian scheme and its main feature, the national colors on the undersides of the wings.
