thx Bob....while i did build and regretfully sold my first N28 i built some 15 years ago, these Nieuports i'm building right now will be getting finished and flown. i've finished everything from sport, pattern and pylon racers throughout my years in this sport, but have never actually finished and detailed a WW1 model. the building is not the challenge here (a lot more fun though), but rather the finishing, as i have never done painting like this before.
