I've built both Nieuports and they were great flyers. If you are going to do all that work do one of the scale planes as they are not any harder to build than the Antic. The tedious part is building all of those ribs. I'm just finishing a Fokker D-7 and it was a fun build but a lot of work. I'm doing it for a competition model so it has all of the details. Picked a plane with the lozenge camo and after painting it it looks awsome but I think I'm ready for the funny farm after all of those stencils. Don

J D, I used some of Glenns fabric for the cockpit area. Its a course linen and I didn't want to try it on the wings. Also with the wire trailing edge you would have to sew the top and bottom together and I don't know how that would work. Get a 15'x45" roll of Super Coverite to do the top wing. They don't make it anymore but I have seen several on Ebay lately. You have to cover the top wing in one piece to get it to look right. Also Glenn's D-8 cockpit stuff will all work in the D-7 with minor modification. Have fun building, its a lot of work but a really impresive airplane when finished. I should be done next week and I'll get some more pictures then. Don
