1:48 Nieuport Ni-21

[Cherrylock]

Yes I build one more Nieuport, it is a 21, not so different to the 11, Cowling only zylindical, open on the lower part, and with ski for the winter. Build from the Eduard profi pack with lot of PE parts, chrome silver cowling and gray alu for the fuselage

Very tiny and good looking !

Impressed of the great paintwork of wooden parts, propeller, skies !

Not so common markings, those old Russian ones.

wow, you like this, it is not so colorful marking, but I will build all Nieuports and so the 21 must part of this, ski and russian markings make it a little different, and I tried to make a big difference of chrome metal parts and flat alu fabric.

Propellers are a significant part of a biplane with two different posibilitys, only one wood color ore light/dark striped. For the stripes you to mask and paint the two tones, for a homogen wood you need light base, than metal primer, oil color and a hard brush and metal primer, real easy to handle.

I do like it, sometimes "less is more" and definitely in this particular case, it applies fully to your Nieuport !

The striped looks best, but are of course more trickier to paint. I have a semi-ready Fokker D.VII waiting for next steps... perhaps I will give a try ... :-)
