Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
Done a few years ago when it first came out. Markings are for Eddie Rickenbacker's airplane. A nice, simple kit without a lot of rigging, good for someone just starting in the WW1 genre. To me the Nieuport 28 is one of the most [...]
I built this a few years ago, it's still one of my favourites.
Eduard Nieuport 17 1/48 scale
Outstanding 1/48 Tamiya kit finished with equally outstanding decals from Aeromaster's RNZAF special package. You really can't go wrong with a Tamiya Corsair.
