    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.

    Shabby weathered mini, but not too shabby a paint scheme match!

    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.

    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.

    Lovely job, Dan!

    They look grand flying together like that!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
