Nice paint work. Looking forward to seeing the work on the spoke tires.

That looks super good. What's the deal with the poster on the right wings? Any story behind that?  BK

Absolutely.  Posters for the Third Liberty Loan effort were sent out to the various military units and at least three wound up at the 94th Aero Sqdn.  Eddie V. Rickenbacker had two doped on the upper surfaces of the upper & lower wings of N 6159. The Third Liberty Loan Program was enacted on April 5, 1918.  There were at least 5 different posters.  Rickenbacker achieved his first 5 of his eventual 26 victories in this machine April 4 - May 28.

Outstanding...thanks for the wood tutorial.

Thank you Ruddratt & Lawdog.  I'll call this one finished!

Fine craftsmanship. The wire spoke wheels are cool as is the paintwork.

Thanks for sharing,

Thank you Mobious!  As mention previously the wheels are from "Scale Spokes".  My sets for the 1:32 Nieuport 28 "tri-spoked" wheels contained two completed wheels (the rims, spokes, PE nipples, reinforcing rims for covers and hubs). Also two sets of additional tyres. Black rubber on the rims, white (natural rubber without carbon black) and grey resin with some tread.
