Special Hobby Nieuport 11 1/32

Just got this little Baby



But before I can show my build, I have to know if this area (red arrow) was wood or painted clear dope



Interior parts (wood parts already paintet)



Cross bars made by me

This one is waiting for some Eduard photo etch



Best from Norway

I have seen a photo (somewhere) of a Nieu 11 with plywood covered cockpit. So I go for that

The inside is painted with Gunze Sangyo H85 Sail Color but any tan color will do

Forward parts was painted with Burnt Sienna Oil color


Then removed with a clean cloth


Then a Wood Effect decal from Spada Decals
(http://www.spada-decals.com/cariboost1/crbst_2.html)



And a photo with the inside frame


The frame is painted with Tamiya TS 46 Light Sand, then with Burnt Sienna Oil color, then removed with a dry pensel and finally a cote of Tamiya X-26 Clear Orange. But it seems that my fingers have removed some of the color during handling

Hello again

The inside looks something like this (minus the seat):



But when you close the airframe, little is seen




All for now
