Nick32 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 My first Wingnut Wings kit, its a very far from perfect build but it was great fun and i've learnt a lot, so thats what counts eh? Everything people say about these kits is bang on, they are fantastic. I've since added 2 more to the stash and i just know more will be incoming.... I used MIG Metal acrylic Matt Aluminium for fusalage, pastels for weathering and my new favourite flat coat, Windsor and Newton flat varnish.

Uncarina Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Great job with this Nick! That aluminum coat really sets off the corrugated surface. Cheers, Tom Nick32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Excellent work, Nick! I'm planning for this to be my first Wingnut Wings build - no rigging! Kev Kagemusha and Nick32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick32 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thanks chaps! Kev, thats why i chose it! There is a tiny bit of rigging on the under carriage, so i have popped my rigging cherry but it was very easy. My next build will have more, either the CSM Nieuport 17 or Wingnut Camel. There is a Ninak in the stash but thats gonna stay there a bit longer Nick 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Looks very nice! I did this kit as well but one of the painted versions. The all metal look is great. Nick32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick32 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thanks! I may build another one day in a different scheme, it was a fantastic kit to put together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Nice build. I agree that this kit is a good way to introduce yourself to WNW kits, so like you, this will also be my first WNW build. I like your natural metal finish and gentle weathering Cheers, Michael Nick32 and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick32 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Thanks guys. I'm going to adjust the exhaust weathering i think, by that point of the build i just wanted it finished and it didn't come out quite as i wanted. But yes it was a great kit to build, and an ideal introduction to Wingnut kits. I would recommend it to anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs Buckles Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Nick, It's as perfect as you can make it and that is perfect enough. She looks good from where I'm sitting - well done! Von LessthanPerfect Nick32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
