Official Nieuport 28 Painting Thread

[Dark Horse]

I recently put up these pix of my Nieuport 28 in the Shapeways Thread (cos the plane is a Shapeways), but I thought that it probably belongs here too, to kick start a painting thread. I copied the paint scheme from a large scale (1/48) model that I found pictures of on the internet.

Very, very nice, Nigel.

[Beer&pretzels]

Good job Nigel! I've been thinking about doing a few of those. You're bigger model is truly inspiring.

[Baron Rolf]

A very nicel painted Nieuport 28 there Nigel :thumbsup:

[somaliavet]

I have to say, that's one of the best finished Shapeways I have seen. Great job!

The 1/48 model is not mine, I just "liberated" the images from the internet. The difficulty was getting the same general painting details & effect scaled down to 1/144. It took a while before I was happy with it!

Nicely done both; particularly the cowling decoration on Meissner's.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Yes a great job Jorgen.
That is a super paint scheme on Meissner's Nieuport 28.
Rob.

[Dark Horse]

Nice cowling paint job.

Great work on the Nieuport 28s, definitely one candidate for set VIII!

Here is my Nieuport 28, a non-historical fantasy version. The bucking cowboy in yellow circle is 88th Aero Sqn which saw frontline duty but did not fly 28s. I "attribute" this plane on my card to 1st Ltn Fletcher L. McCordic, who was a pilot in the 88th.

This is a Reviresco model; decals are home made.

You are certainly knocking out some very fine aircraft this week Anthony.
I love the chequered effect on the engine cowling.
Having done it myself, I know just how difficult it is to get the decals to conform to the contours of the plane.
Well done that man.:hatsoff:

That's an amazing Nieuport 28 Anthony :thumbsup:

[Flying Helmut]

That's really nice!

[MoonSylver]

Love the scheme you've created: the bucking bronco, the tail markings, the checkered nose, all splendid. :clap:

Beautiful work!

Hi all,

As my first foray into uploading repaints, I'm happy to share one that I've looked forward to doing since first hearing his story: Quentin Roosevelt of the 95th Aero Squadron. (I'm new to the upload thing, so I hope the images upload correctly).

I have to show my 94th Squadron Nieuport 28 repaints. Just a paint over and put new numbers on.

I did the following pilots:
2 - Major Raoul Lufbery
10 - Lt. Douglas Campbell
11 - Lt. Reed M. Chambers
14 - Lt. Alan F. Winslow

I used Miscmini decals for these.
