Nieuport 12ish - Part 3. Ready for takeoff!

Well here it is and for all its (numerous) faults it looks good enough for it’s role as a two-seat recce aircraft. 






My inspiration for the paintwork was this splendid little book.  I’m sure I’m not the only fan of this series - I wonder if there’s any demand for a post on my shelf of Blandfords.

  1. Hello there Tim,

    Very stylish looking and the observer looks great!

    Blandford's titles are always useful to have around - especially the hardbacks.

    All the best,

    DC

    Style is good - even in 1916!

    The simple colour scheme makes it look quite neat.

    I think the scarf matches the observer's nose! Sorry - it must be all your talk of 'landlords'...

    Lucky the crew are only plastic - so it should manage to struggle into the air.
