    1/32 Nieuport 28C-1 Roden

    Keeping the mojo going with something new to my modeling experience. This is a build for a friend who will be building a 1/4 scale rc version of this subject and wanted this for motivation. The kit looks pretty clean and flash free. The office is the usual starting point so here goes.







    The IP is very basic and despite the fact that it will be near impossible to see I could'nt help doing it up a bit



    The fuselage lacks any kind of locating pins so alignment is vague at best,adding the bottom wing helps somewhat hold it in place



    The fit is nice with very little gap any where



    Adding just the upper center supports at this time,the outer wing struts are left a natural wood color so I decided to add those toward the end of the build to ease things





    The prop is something new for me being a natural wood finish. I decided to use enamels and based it with 3 different shades ,after they set a bit I used slow thinner on a wide brush and blended them to get a faux wood grain.

                Nice tidy paint job Trey. Quite an unusual scheme, should look striking once completed.

                          Very unusual Trey. Nice clean crisp paint work I like that.

                          Think this is one that will sit centre stage on the shelf.

                            Thanks for the kind words Fellas! The decal session went decent and they settled in nicely after hitting them with some Solvaset. The only snag was the blue stripes on the cowl were too short and I had to hand paint the ends , small pice to pay for an otherwise flawless set of water transfers. Next up the dreaded rigging!

















                            cheers Trey

                              Superb work Trey, that nose looks great and the decals have settled nicely.
