1/32 Nieuport 28c.1 upgrades and tailored decal sets for the Roden kit!
Roden's excellent N.28 kit deserves a few upgrades to really turn it into a thing of beauty.
It's racey lines and simple construction make for an eye-catching subject for your display case, as well as having a number of stories to re-tell..
If the initial 'Hat in the ring' 94th Aero Squadron schemes sell well we will extend the range to the 27th, 95th and 147th units..
Forward fuselage painted areas are included as decals - either use them or match paint to them, along with cowling, undercarriage legs and cabane struts.
Strut woodgrain and stencils, along with manufacturer's transfers are provided and also as separate water-slide decals.
We suggest removing the over-scale wrapping on the kit struts before priming. In reality this was tape and best represented as decal material.
To simulate the use of aluminium flakes in the camo paint (as an early UV protection experiment) try adding a splash of aluminium paint to your white, gloss primer, before polishing and gloss varnishing ahead of decal application - it produces a very interesting, subtle effect!..
Gnome Monosaupape rotary engine and Part p/e sets are offered as optional extras.

Highly recommended for building the 1/32 Roden kit is Mike Norris' free downloadable pdf.
Created before Aviattic's upgrades it does, however, have much to offer - check his other build guides out too - Mike has been a great ambassador for Aviattic for years.
