Nieuport Delage NiD 622 1/72


Recommended Posts

Hello

I've started working on my little NiD 622. This is a 1/72 kit from Azur.

It will be one of the Aéronautique Navale, Escadrille 3C2 stationed at Marignane (near Marseille south of France) in 1935.

The cockpit is well furbished with some resin parts and a metal etched harness. The general colour is dark blue grey. The dust as since disappered as it comes from a little filing to get the fuselage closed.

Glad to see you making good progress on this, Sir!

It is a very striking aircraft. I was very glad when this came out, as it is a real improvement on the old Heller, which for someo dd reason got the nose weirdly wrong....

Hi

Very little progress last week-end. I added the vertical tail. I modified the horizontal tail with a small filet before I saw on some pictures of the 622 and I dropped the elevator.

I've just painted the flag : directly blue (15109) and next red (Humbrol 19). Proportions are 1/3 each of the maximum width. I prefer painting the flags as the decals are seldom the perfect shape of the rudder.

I added a small intake just behind the propeller above the engine cowling. It's made of aluminum sheet taken from a coffee pot.

Next I painted the cover of the engine in gunmetal.

Hello

I've progressed on my work.

Aluminium on the engine cowling :

I added some scratch with the oil tank and radiator under the engine. The small thing under the pilot is unknown from me but we can see on pictures :

The wires for a little rigging :

I masked the aluminium areas :

I put some photo-etched parts under the upper wing :

And finally I added the elevator with a small drop :
