Do you use the thin (0.25mm) or the "thick" (0.5 mm) version?

 

It's labeled as "fine" but doesn't specify the diameter (actually width, since it isn't round in cross-section).

So, I recently decided to suffer the injustice of high postage costs from Poland and ordered a batch of kits. The VERY NEXT DAY I learned that Kartonowa Kolekcja, my favorite publisher, just published a new kit.

It's a Nieuport 16c.1, complete with Le Prieur rockets. The Nieuport 16 was an updated Nieuport 11, so this kit amounts to a repaint and slight modification of the older release. I was hoping that the next kit might be a SPAD, Albatros, Swordfish, or Fokker DVII repaint, but no joy. Still, this kit is a nice addition to the KK catalog

Not sure how I missed this one - what a spectacular build!  I'm so impressed with your work in card, especially with all the compound curves.  Really well done!
