Title: Converting Esci 1/72 Nieuport 17C into a two seater
Post by: phat trev on July 16, 2019, 06:18:10 AM

Can anyone assist with what I would need to do to convert an Esci 1/72 Nieuport 17C into a two seater version? Was it a larger aircraft?

Hi!
Where have you seen a double seater Ni.17?
Totally new to me!
Good luck for your project!

Using the N-17 as a basis for an N-12 (not a 2 seater N-17)

Hi,
I wouldn't try converting a Ni.17 to a Ni.12 as the two seater is larger in every dimension.
You can buy a resin kit of the Ni.12bis here:
