On December the 31st I finished Heller's Nieuport-Delage Ni-D 622 in 1/72 scale. Just in time to participate on the yearly competition at Flugzeugforum.de
Topic for 2021 were aircraft from France.

Marius! This is absolutely wonderful model building work at any scale, with fidelity to the craft that is staggering - the painstaking details, the combination of painted metal surfaces, meeting painted canvas surfaces is as adroitly handled as anything found in 1/32 scale. Bravo!

Here are some pictures of the almost fully scratched cockpit, including my own 3D-printed and designed parts like instrument panel and throttle.

Not a follower of that group. But, still really, really neat.
