This is an Italian nieuport 17 flown by Prince Ruffo di Calabria. The rigging was hard, but I love how it came out.

It looks really good. Love these Ni`s. What did you use for rigging? I like the way roundels on the upper wing are just barely visible. Do you have some shots of the cockpit?

I will need to try to get some cockpit shots, as it was sunny enough to bloom out the interior when I tried today. The rigging is http://wingnutwings.com/ww/product?productid=3046 Brilliant stuff.

Helo thenorm:

Looks mighty good from where I sit. Love those Italian markings and like you subdued the upper wing markings. Neat looking model.

Best
Mark
