Contest Work - Early Days



Got my kits; Roden Dr.1 and 2 Eduard Ni.17s.

I'm going to mark the Dr.1 in the controversial, but exciting markings of #586/17. I'll be masking the candy stripes and making my own decals for the "LO" on the fuselage. The national insignia will come from the kit.




For the Ni17s, one will be an Italian one (don't know which one yet), and one will be Guyenmeyer's #1531. Not particularly exciting, apart from the Italian paint job, but a good chance to try subtle weathering.

I'll choose one of the Nieuports as the contest entry later.


I've sprayed them with primer, and painted and weathered the insides. Ready to close them up now.
