Those are awesome. Makes me want to try more repaints. Nicely done.

Really nice!
Just another one knocked out then Tim.
Not sure which one to Rep.
Guess I will do this one as I'm on the page.

Excellent Tim. Now everyone will want Belgians. I see the ebay prices for the Olieslagers, Coppens and RE8 skyrocketing!
Yes, I used to see a lot of Coppens just hanging out. Now, they are hard to find.
Excellent painting, Tim!

Very nice Tim. I think the Frenchies can be a five year plan of their own!
I like the weathering affect. Looks like it has definitely seen some action.
Yes Tim, yet another model of which you can be justly proud.

Mon dieu! Nice job, Tim
Nice job Tim

Repainted some Nieuport 17 to add to my Italian Airforce.
Took the base Ares Baracca Nieuport and this is what I have.
First, a home made decal. Quarter moon. Seen this marking in the Italian aces book.
Second, I saw this marking in the Italian Aces book. I used a Misc Mini WWII Japanese set to get the red circle. I then used an I-94 set for the white star. Put the red circle down first and the star on top. Turned out really good.
Third, another home made decal. Again, marking I saw in Italian Aces book. I really like how this one turned out.
Finally, I thought Griffin would look cool. Decal from a misc mini decal sheet.
Baracca now has some wing mates to go hunting with!
Nice looking flight Dan! Hope no one is looking for Baracca Nieuports now that you've repainted them all.
Lovely job, Dan!
They look grand flying together like that!
REP!

Another very impressive show Dan.

Lovely Nieuports
Bravo messieurs !
Nice job, Dan.
I have a bunch of N.11 and N.17 I bought last year that are waiting for decals ....
Must get them done before the OTT campaign passes them by.
Nice squadron, Dan.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Awesome Nieuports, Dan! Love the choices.
This is more of a thank you to Mikeemagnus than a look at my painting mainly because he very kindly produced the flight number decals for me and because the painting is pretty simple.
So thank you Mike
They are notionally 29 Squadron C flight about April 17 I won't go into my reasons for the colours and codes because there is a lot of confusion and I don't want to set any hares running, but suffice to say I quite like the fact that they are a little colourful.
Cheers

Beauties, John! Very nice
Those look great, John.
I had better get moving on mine!
Thanks, I've uploaded a slightly better resolution file so you can see the mistakes more easily.
They'll do!

Nice flight John.
Wonderful looking planes! Great job!
I love this thread and I love this aircraft I wish I could give reputation points to all of aircraft repaints.
Nice one John, they look the business and the photos re great
Very nice John.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Not only a good looking Flight John, but a refreshing change in colour scheme too. You display them very well against that cloud shot sky.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Wonderful painting and the decals look really good. The photos against the backdrop are brilliant. Rep inbound.
Thanks for your nice comments, you've made a young man happy.
You have to admit, whoever did the number and letter decals made a damn good job of them. thanks again Mike.
I was expecting to make a bugger of applying the decals and so have some left over in blue and red so if anyone would like some let me know. Only proviso is you post your planes here.
Cheers
A pleasure John - glad to see you make such good use of them

Looking really good there Chris!
Nice job, Chris.
Pretty impressive armée de l'air belge your are building up.
Thanks, Dan, these were fun
Lovely!
I loves a nice plucky Belgian, I does...
Rep gun jammed!
Your DFWs took all my bullets!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Very nice Chris! By the way you are going the Belgians are going to win WWI.
Thanks, guys! Tim, that DFW was built to be bullet-proof. Don't use up all its luck
They would just like everyone to calmly lay down their weapons and leave the pretty countryside... and for their allies to stop attacking them in the air.
Like these a lot Chris. Rep gun jammed I'm afraid - guess you've been a busy man recently
Those look great, Gary
REP guns jammed
Nicely done, Gary!
Rep!
