Cool.  Like the camo and the face.
Thanks Zen, the face was hand painted. There is a precedence with shark mouths on Nieuport 28s, but all of them were too triangular, so I went with my favorite style.

I like the cammo, too. Intentionally more pale and (as far as I can tell) more blue-ish than the land-based cousin's style?

Nice one.  :thumbsup:
Thomas, Thank you! As to the camouflage, I copied a scheme on the directions for a US Army version, but used WW2 US Navy Colors instead. Base coat is Dark Gull Gray/Grey, Underside of the wings and stabilizers is Dark Ghost Gray/Grey, the dark gray/grey is Gunship Gray/Grey, the lighter blue is USN Blue-Gray/Grey, and the dark blue is USN Sea Blue? (Can't find the bottle). I basically navalized the color scheme. Most paints are Testors, the blues are Polly Scale. The red white and blue are Games Workshop Gore Red, White is an Ivory of a company I don't remember, and Tamiya Dark Blue. The decals are from the spares box. It was washed with a very watered down black.

That's come out really well. Like others particularly like the colour scheme
Thank you Narses, I gave away the scheme above.
