Looks very good indeed---strange to see the cowling 'split' but nothing to worry about---like the tailplane slots for control cables and good detail on Lewis gun.
Decals look good.
Should be a little winner guy's.

Not a bad looking kit at all . Detailing is nicely render . little heavy in some areas, but nothing that a sanding stick can't fix .

Interesting - Is this a spin off from Roden? The box art looks similar.

Well that works out to be about 100 bucks in Canadian funds which isn't that bad . We pay that now for Rodens 32 scale kit's .
Question though , are these the same moulds as the Special Hobby kit ? Or are these ones new ?

Hi Terry,
Must be new ones--Special Hobby had one piece cowling and no slots in tail for control cables

Hi there
Brits struggling with the exchange rate or import prices will be glad to know that Model Hobbies are selling the kit for £46.35. They usually have a useful discount on items.
All the best

By looking at the sprues it looks like a good kit. Comparable to the Roden releases. It makes a nice companion/addition to the already available Nieuport kits. Keep 'em coming!
