I have had a few months off modelling and my Scratch built B17G as I have been away from my work bench but finally have found the time to build something …this time OOB!
May I present to you my effort of the Nieuport 11…in the markings of Cpl Victor Chapman ,N.124, Lafayette Americane, 1916. This is the Eduard 1:48 scale kit and and a pleasant build it was too!!
The lower starboard wing was taken off another camouflaged Nieuport as a replacement ,due to damage!..if your wondering!!
Very cool build. I like that “odd” lower wing. The pilot certainly had a long reach to that Lewis gun on the top wing, didn’t he.
I’m venturing into bipe’s myself. On the bench right now I have an Lindberg Curtiss Goshawk I picked up at Modelpalooza last week. I’m finding out that an old kit like this takes planning.
If I’m successful with this kit, I’ll try another later.
WOW!!! Even in 1/48th scale, biplanes are small kits (unless it’s an An-2, I guess). Great job, Fozzy!! By the way, your last name ain’t “Bear”, is it??
