TeWika Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi fellow modellers, I'm going to try a ww1 bi-plane... a first for me. Mr Ralph Sarc... it's your fault really, your attitude and joy of building rubbs of! I'm thinking I have some of the best builders around here and hope you'll come with pointers and tips to help me out.. I won't use any aftermarket stuff except maybe decals... when I figure out what I want to depict. Any how, here it goes. cheers Ted
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 23, 2015 Administrators Posted January 23, 2015 Good on you! If I recall correctly the Nieuprt has an a-symmetric fuse just behind the engine and the Academy kit has not. Master casters (again I believe) do some resin upgrades, mastered by Derek Bradshaw. Might be worth taking a look at. I'm still waiting for WnW to tackle the whole Nieuport series with the Nieuport 28 as my favorite. Cheers, Jeroen 1
TeWika Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Aha! Yes- seems like a good plan! She' ll be my confidence builder before other more complex kits.. I'm dreaadding the rigging and fiddle bits:P
Wingco57 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Nahh, that's near the end of the build. Cees 1
TeWika Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Calming words guys:) It's more how to make them look good.. I trying to frenchup the kits engine... need it more "twistin" and bussy Ted
wackyracer Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Ted. You'll be fine with this. The rigging is straightforward and the kit as well. Look forward to following along. May even dig my Academy Nieuport 17 out as well! 1
TeWika Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Aaron, I found a Polish site (I think) that have good piccies, however there seems to be more than one type of cowling- you in the know?

Sorry not that knowledgeable I'm afraid. Link to the Polish site would be nice though for a bit of reference. Aaron
