    Default Nieuport 17 - Serial 4187 from 22 KAO

    Here are some pics and info on my contest entry (Luckily I had a spare Lufbery/Thenault for the repaint)

    The plane is inspired from a 1/48 Eduard scale model and this photo:

    I really need a good camera and a lot of practice taking photos of these planes but here are the best I could get out of my old digital camera.

    The mermaid had to be painted as the outline and tail were the only details to come though the printed. (Oh for a ALPS printer!!!)

    And Finally the card made for the plane:

    I learnt a lot from making this model. Next time I'll try decals like the mermaid I'll use white decal paper. The piece will be coloured to match as best as possible and will cover the the whole length of the plane. I would then repaint the silver to match (The same technique used for the tail and roundels)

    Thanks for all those that voted.

    A plane that fits to an aircraft card, perfect for gaming.

    Nice model Chris!

    Give me the phone number from this mermaid...

    Great looking plane that Chris!

    Having tried it myself, I'm actually especially impressed by the exactness of fittings on the wing struts - Impressive attention to detail!
