My attempt at freehanding the camouflage could have gone better. Next I try masking...

Hey, head up! Camouflage should make a plane blend in with the ground beneath. Yours will do just that. Besides, the "ribs" are showing through - some people spend hours doing that.
Feel lucky

Gift wrapped. I wonder what it is?

Oh! It's a Nieuport!

Isn't it cute?


Posing with the rudder

The rules require some detailing to be done to the engine so I constructed a quick and dirty length template so I could cut some hypotube to make pushrods

Test fit of the engine in place

Remarkably few decals are needed to complete the colour scheme

All of a sudden it's a biplane!


I love it when a model gets to this stage

Congratulations!

I think that would look more striking in 1/32, not to mention that finding a suitable truck and figures would be easier.
