1/48 Nieuport 10

January 12, 2024 · in Aviation · · 12 · 238

Special Hobby kit. A reasonable kit, but I ended up having to fix some weird alignment issues. I struggled to get the proper stagger while maintaining the correct gap between the upper and lower wings. In the end, I think that the gap is too big, but the stagger is correct. Oh well, I consider every model to be a learning experience. I replaced most of the cockpit details with aftermarket and used a Vector engine
