WW1 GB - Nieuport 11

[Cimmerian]

Wasn't sure if I could really include this or not. When the GB started all I had left to do was the rigging, gun assembly and the prop and cowl. Using inspiration from Deacon I done the rigging with the thinnest gauge plastic rod I could find. It still looks a bit thick but it's not so bad 'in the plastic'. It was probably the easiest rigging I've ever done but I feel I will go back to the old drill and thread method for the next one.

It's French!

This is a cracking build mate, you should be really pleased with that.

GB Rules are that builds which are in progress can be included, so that's what you've done.

That Lewis(?) gun on the top is just the business.

Get the finished shots in the gallery soldier!

It's French!

Please don't hold that against me!

[Deacon]

But it's French! Next you'll be doing..............an American!!!

What paint did you use for the 'dope'?

Humbrol doped linen. (74)

Looks good! I'd tend to agree the rigging does look a little clunky, but the finish is first rate-very nice!

[Cimmerian]

Thanks, it's a shame I can't find any thinner plastic rod as it is so easy to do but it's back to the drill and thread for me.

But..., it's French!

Very nice build Ken, love it.

If you can find it, metal wire can be used for rigging. I normally use 0,2mm wire and fix it in place with tiny drops of superglue.

ohh I like this one.. Even if it is French. Nicely built up.
