Nick32 196 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. 16 Dpgsbody55, florin13, Old Dog and 13 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncarina 4,009 Posted November 23, 2019 Great job with this Nick! That aluminum coat really sets off the corrugated surface. Cheers, Tom 1 Nick32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Kevin 27,525 Posted November 23, 2019 Excellent work, Nick! I'm planning for this to be my first Wingnut Wings build - no rigging! Kev 2 Nick32 and Kagemusha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick32 196 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 1 109 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ringleheim 1,908 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. 1 Nick32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dpgsbody55 867 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 2 Out2gtcha and Nick32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick32 196 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobs Buckles 220 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 1 Nick32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
