Just got this little Baby



But before I can show my build, I have to know if this area (red arrow) was wood or painted clear dope



Anyone?

Very interesting. I look forward to the build!

There is a small group of Modelers that have a set of decals for this kit. I'll see if they'll let me post some images.

Are you thinking of Spada Decals ?

They have decals for French, Belgian, Russian and Italien Nieuport 11

Nice and clean paintjob neigbour. i´d like it so far.I´ve have this one on my bench to, so this is interesting to follow your work.If I don´t remember it all wrong you have to drill some tiny holes in the back of the seat.Perhaps I´m wrong, but I´ll will check it up.What kind of paint do you use Humbrol, Tamyias ect ?

Keep it comming/ snyggt jobbat

Hello Lars

I have seen a photo (somewhere) of a Nieu 11 with plywood covered cockpit. So I go for that

The inside is painted with Gunze Sangyo H85 Sail Color but any tan color will do

Forward parts was painted with Burnt Sienna Oil color


Then removed with a clean cloth


Then a Wood Effect decal from Spada Decals
(http://www.spada-decals.com/cariboost1/crbst_2.html)



And a photo with the inside frame


The frame is painted with Tamiya TS 46 Light Sand, then with Burnt Sienna Oil color, then removed with a dry pensel and finally a cote of Tamiya X-26 Clear Orange. But it seems that my fingers have removed some of the color during handling

Hi Olve
I must say that your work is one of the nicest I´ve seen for a long time on the net. Keep it come.

Hello again

The inside looks something like this (minus the seat):



But when you close the airframe, little is seen




All for now
Olve

Losing that nice paint job is a great pity.

Some progress



Somewhat puny compared to the Albatros
