NIEUPORT XVII EARLY “The beginning of a legacy — where precision meets potential.” This 1/32 scale kit from Copper State Models represents the inaugural release in their Nieuport series. The overall quality is exceptional—comparable to the most prestigious brands in the industry. The parts fit together with remarkable precision, and with the addition of a few enhancements, the final result can be truly outstanding.

NIEUPORT XVII LATE
NIEUPORT XVII EARLY “The Nieuport does not easily reveal itself — you have to open it to truly understand it.” This marks my second build of the Nieuport model from Copper State Models. For this project, I set out to maximize the potential of the kit’s exceptional molding quality by undertaking an extensive super-detailing process. My focus was to faithfully reconstruct the aircraft’s interior—exposing the fuselage and meticulously crafting each internal component with precision and care. I trust you will appreciate the result.

WESTLAND WAPITI IIA
WESTLAND WAPITI IIA “This build explores the operational adaptations of a Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft in extreme environments, reconstructed in 1/32 scale with archival precision.” This 1/32 scale Lukgraph model has been reconfigured to represent a Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft, featuring custom-built skis fabricated from scratch to replace the original landing gear. Logistical equipment was added to the bomb racks, based on archival photographs of the actual aircraft. To enrich the narrative and setting, a 1/32 scale British TR.Model H motorcycle from Copper State Models was incorporated into a frozen lake scene, inspired by imagery published in Kestrel Aerospace Profiles by T.F.J. Leversedge.
