I agree, Roland. Still my favorites. And their structure is pretty perfect for paper. I may build a Fokker E-II (although a monoplane!) as a dogfight double for the Nieuport. We'll see! Thanks as usual and have a good week... -Dan

Thanks, PC! This is a fun duel build. It's really instructive to see them next to each other. Landing gear for both is next! I appreciate the views and comments. -Dan

Oh I do...I really do! I only got multiple videos posted and building done because I was on Christmas vacation. Now it's back to the grind of life! Hang in there and I appreciate your comments and views too! -Dan

Oh I sure hope so! I think they will be fine. The Mig gear will be harder...I think! More soon. -Dan

Thank you so much! Getting better all the time... -Dan Большое спасибо! Все время становится лучше...

Do it! A simple, flat WWI plane may be the ticket. You don't need to rig it just to get the hang of things. Let us know how it turns out! -Dan

Thanks, Neil. Now I just need to figure out how do videoography. Your movies are so clear, lit and focused. Love you latest French twin, by the way! Keep cutting...-Dan

I like it. I do need to make another prop-less machine and an F-4 makes sense. I'll see what I can do! -Dan

@@dansmith7617 They are worthy rivals.

PC: I fixed it up so it looks passable. The tip of the nose was crushed since I have weight in there. Hangar rash! More soon as the landing gear is next! -Dan

Thank you, Boss! I hope these do give some general ideas. I need to get a better video set up so I can show more details of cutting, folding etc. We'll see. Thanks for watching and your comments on the 3 you've watched. Much appreciated. -Dan

You are welcome, Gene. I still lean toward that darn Nieuport myself! -Dan

Hi Robert: It's really rather nice. I thought that the spinner was a little pointy and I'm not very good at butt joints along the fuselage. There are a lot of them! Otherwise, fit was fine and it looks the part! Good luck and let us know how it turns out. -Dan

@dansmith7617 thank you, i will use a bit more glue with those fuselage parts, ill let you know how it turns out. Spinner will probably end up using some sandpaper and paint 😊 have a great day!

@@dansmith7617 hi Dan, one question...the engine part it says: made from tin. How did you make these?

@@Robert-yk8tx Hi Robert. I think that's just a poor translation of some sort of wire. I used thin piano wire for 17g. 17f were just paper folded over from the kit engine parts. 17e was from pulled plastic sprue (heated) and the intakes were made from bendy fuse wire. Looks pretty convincing when done! -Dan

@dansmith7617 right, thank you so much for sharing how you made these parts! Looking forward to building this kit.

Thank you, Chris! Much appreciated. I did not know that at all. 🤔👍👍 -Dan

@@dansmith7617 You're welcome.

Uh oh....I'll take a look. Thanks for the caution. If it's wrong, it won't be too hard to fix. Thanks for that! -Dan

You were NOT WRONG! My mistake and thanks for pointing it out. Just fixed it and now things look much better. 😅

Can't wait to see them finished... Keep up the good work 😊

Thanks RR and Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Lots of folks can help when you take the plunge!! -Dan

I understand! I think because the model is of Polish manufacture, they found a Polish example. I can see making another in the future for the CCCP. Thanks for looking and commenting... -Dan

You are right. That green sets it off. I like that nose cone/radar dome/airflow piece and the fin flashes. Cool beans! Thanks for the comments...Dan

I agree. That rakish tail makes it look fast just standing still! -Dan

Hi PC. I'm glad you are enjoying these. I am trying to learn by doing but am not a professional. For me, it's fine so far since these videos are really a way to document what I'm building and how I do it. When I become rich and famous, then I'll need your services! 😄 -Dan

@@dansmith7617 😁That's awesome!, and I can't wait to see the next builds!!!

Thanks as usual, Neil. I already had some folks tell me they found my channel because of you. Thanks, brother! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas time! More models for me as I'm on a bit of a vacation!!! -Dan

Ha! Me too. The silver is fine but if you make mistakes, it really shows. The little Nieuport is much more forgiving. I am getting to like the Mig too, though. Can't wait to add the wings now!! -Dan

Hello Pegasus: You would be amazed what you can do in paper. Some modelers make works of art and you can't even tell they are paper. Really amazing stuff. Takes practice but it's so satisfying. I think it's the best of plastic modeling and balsa tissue modeling combined! Thanks for the views and your comments. -Dan

Thank you SO MUCH. Shout out to Neil as well. It's so fun to see what people are doing out there. I hope you enjoy my much less professional videos. Much appreciated! -Dan

Good ideas, Neil. I'll see what I can do. Definitely need help on the videography side of things... Thanks, Mate...-Dan

Thank you, Roland! I hope to get these done before the New Year. We'll see! Thanks also for your views. More soon... -Dan

When it's this thin, it's no problem. Gives some needed strength at least for me. Plus, I've used it for lots of models so I have all the equipment to deal with it. I know it won't dull blades as fast as cardboard will! We'll see how this one goes! Thanks for the comment, FishBBQ. -Dan

Tim! Thanks so much for your comments. I'm starting another paper model project (well...two) but one is a Nieuport 11. Looking forward to wings covered in fabric again! Hope all is well with you and yours... -Dan

I'm with you, Roland. The jet will keep me humble. Paper is so well-suited to the WWI era. We'll see how this all pans out! Thanks for the comments and the views... -Dan

Hello FishBBQ...this will be really fun to do and I can swap between planes if one gets to be too onerous. Plus, you'll end up with two things at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Stay tuned! -Dan

I just saw this so sorry for the late reply. It was a fun if not long build but satisfying in the end! Thanks for watching along...-Dan

Yes indeed! That's my preferred Nieuport 11 paper model (actually, ANY WWI model by KK's drsigner Paweł Mistewicz is an automatic buy for me). Frankly, wish Dan were doing separate builds, but still looking forward to this project.

MrMav: I have seen that one and sort of want to get it. I just saw this and the colors/markings looked nice. Hopefully it will turn out as well as it looks on the paper! -Dan

GeneKoro: I agree that any Pawel Mistewicz design is a good build. Dan: the Mig is definitely hand drawn.

@@gregoryperry4824 Thanks, Greg. Two hand-drawn in a row! What are the odds? -Dan 🤣

Thanks, PC! It really was fun. I don't think there was a part that I didn't enjoy tackling. Lots of fun building this one...I appreciate the comments and the view. Thanks! -Dan

ConPeg! They are fun to make and this build shows that you can mix and match lots of plastic model skills making the paper even more varied and useful. Dig in and enjoy. Ask for help too if you get stuck. Thanks for the views and the comments! -Dan

Thank you, Mr. Stoney. It was a real pleasure. I kind of miss planes like your avatar so maybe a Nieuport 11 is on deck. We'll see! Thanks for the views and comments along the way. -Dan

Appreciated, Roland! I may do a jet (unusual for me) or a Nieuport 11. Maybe a dual build? I miss my rigging. Nieumig or Meiuport. We'll see and stay tuned... 🤣 -Dan
