Quentin Roosevelts Nieport 28 in paper

[cgutzmer]

Hello all!
As you might know I am working on designing this plane as a paper model. Well not really designing it but rather recoloring a kit to my needs I thought people might like to see it beginning to end. My first step is to create the 95th insignia. I am using inkscape so it will be in vector format. This is the rough drawing that still needs quite a few tweaks after researching lots of pics on the net. The blue appears too dark to me right now and some of the curves arent quite right. One thing to be warned of is that it looks like the 95th changed the detail level of this insignia quite a bit between the nieuports and the Spads. It was rather simplistic on the nieuport comparatively. This is where I am at! Suggestions appreciated!
Thanks
Chris

Here is a partial snap of blank Nieuport I will be using. A friend of mine touched up the colors and did extensive research to ensure accuracy. I compared to one I did, the original and another blank that was offered to me and this is the one I was most satisfied with

The insignia was much closer to what I needed than I thought. A few minor color corrections and curve changes but very minor - you will see it next when its on the plane.

thanks!
Chris
