howdy, as i am new to model building ( less than a year) and this being my 3rd build( 2 shorts before this )i'd like to post some pics of the build and i'm just learning how to start a build on a thread my next one will be more informative. this is a 1/5 nieuport 11 with a fully working cockpit right down to the throttle. the servo's control the stick, rudderboard etc. and inturn they control the control surfaces. most every thing you see with the exception of one brass instrument housing was fabricated from alum. and brass tube, lithoplate, aluminum sheet and 1/64, 1/32 ply. i used no special tools like milling machines, lathes etc. just a dremal, exacto, razor saw and sandpaper unfortunatly i don't even own a set of files. all the leather work is done in black and natural. anyway here are a bunch of pics and this is also a russian version of the N-11. P.S. i'm working on the upper and lower wings and then maybe i'll be finished with the exception of a bunch of weathering.
