Mr Huberlu, A truly magnificent build thread. I particularly enjoyed & learned from your painting explanations & the etched brass m/g s. I have Spad 13s in all 3 main scales & I'll refer to your thread time and again as iI build them . THANKS for all the posts. Carl T

A great work of painting with stencils. The head of the Indian is superb.

I was very interested to look at the masking of the circles using a "ball of rubber skin" but could not read French and it loses the translation somehow. what exactly and where do you get a ball of rubber skin? Looks like it would be the best method to paint a Nieuport cone de penetration in the tricolor scheme. But your electrical tape did the job well.
Thanks
Dave

I therefore touched up the chin in the oil painting, and also painting the red and yellow on the nose and the forehead and the too dark blue forehead, the black plume missing at the end of the white feather, etc etc.

The end of the blue feather is cut.

It is not perfect but I cannot make better.

The frontal ring is painted with the flexible scotch tape which they use in jobs electrical. It leaves tasks of glue alas.

I read (but too late) here that they can make this with a ball of rubber skin:

Thank you for your nice words.

Sorry Dave, it's was a "ballon"...

Look at photographs I think they explain better than me.

Looks good, not sure if it was a standard balloon like the kids here have or a thicker piece of rubber balloon. Will have to try it out, just need to figure out how to cut a perfectly round hole on the balloon. maybe a metal punch although not sure if it would get the correct size.
thanks
Dave

Thanks doug, sounds pretty easy, will have to try it next time I need to mask a Cone de penetration on a Nieuport.

Salut,

I varnished drift and.... "Silvering" everywhere.

after the brush I acquire this:

we still see the edge of decals a bit....

The weathering is begun with the oil painting:

The underside of the airframe is glued together and wings set up.

There are holes!

I blocked hole with white "Milliput" and a brush. Under the hood the slit is very fine but a party of beige painting was scratched letting appear white plastic. At the back of wings and under the airframe slits are more visible.

A+
