Greetings all,

As a Belgian modeler, I love the early Aviation Militaire of my little country. Even if my interrest is mainly in 1/72th scale, sometimes I built a 1/48th model.

Here, you'll find a few photos of my last model : the Nieuport 16 'Fox Trot" flown by Adjudant Egide Roobaert. This model is the Eduard "slightly" reworked. I added a lot of details in the cockpit, reworked the Le Prieur rockets and modified Preiser German aviator to figure a few member of our Aviation Militaire . The scene depict a briefing, just before a flight, early in the morning.


I hope you'll like it.





















After, I finished it, I find a new photos of the real aircraft. I missed two things on my model. There are no cockade on the upper wing and the aluminium sheets that protect the lower wing extrados are very apparent. I leave these two error on my model. The next will be better.

Best regards from my little country.

Edmond
