    I have not been working on the Nieuport lately, because of various "life" and doctor appointments getting in the way.

    I wanted to try something new with this N-17. I wanted to spray the National insignia on rather than to rely on the decals.

    I'm not too good at cutting circles... so I decided to finally pull the trigger on this circle cutter. It will hopefully come in handy on all of my Allied Great War builds, and also be useful on the Japanese planes that I have in "Ye Olde Stash".




    This is the actual cutter.


    This is a holding fixture for the cutter.

    These are replacement cutting points.

    I hope to get some markings painted on the wings and rudder of the N-17 soon.

    As always, comments are encouraged.

    Thanks for stopping by and have a good night.

    I have the same circle cutter from DSPIAE, Louis (@lgardner). I don't know how I lived without it. Aren't they great?
