Nieuport 11 in 1:33 AND 1:100

[Vinalssergio155]

What Mike1158 says, build what you have fun. What Gene K says about the magnificent work you are doing on this scale and that it would be a shame to leave this scale, I also agree. And what you say, I also share it , it is frustrating to spend long moments trying to guess where a piece is going and end up placing it without being very sure if it is in the right place. Looking for information, photos, diagrams, etc., demands a lot of time. This scale demands a lot of time. Build what you need. Have fun, it will be great as we already know that you do it.

Not glued yet. Have to do windscreen and misc bits that will be hard to get to once upper wing is on. Angle of incidence is spot on so I am a happy camper.

Looking like a Bebe young fella. Following this thread has pretty much put the boot to any notions I might have had about trying a biggie. To each they're own and all that, but they are simply not for me.

Long live 1/100!

Too bad. This kit is really not a "biggie", being small and relatively very simple in construction.

Yes, to each his own -- and in that regard, after getting this particular kit, I immediately ordered six other kits from this talented designer because I liked his construction, design, and scale details.

Since Michael once asked about precision glue applicators, here's mine for one-tiny-drop-of-CA at a time:



I use a somewhat similar needle based "dispenser" for PVA.

...and in THIS regard Gene, you guys will always have my respect and admiration for the amazing results you achieve with these kits.

Long live paper modelers!!

Thanks GK. Another thing for my next Amazon order.

OK I am about at the end of my rope with this BeBe.

You guys talk about tiny parts on 1:100. This thing is full of tiny parts. AND it is almost impossible to find them on the pages and on the instructions. Rata has done a dozen since I have started this. Yes I know he hasn't gotten to my incredible level of finesse but the boy is trying.


I WILL finish this but probably never do another.

One great tip from Gene K --- Spit!! It works great on folding and curved pieces. Just a bit on a Q tip, touch it to the fold line and in about 15 seconds it almost folds itself!!

Finally I can see some Nieuport here! Good work so far, Michael.
