Just saw that Special Hobby has released/is getting to release a 1/48 scale Nieuport 10. Here is a link from their website with part (?) of the instructions.

Beautiful, hope they release a 1/32 scale version of it too :D

I knew they would one day. I have the 1 seat nieuport 10 and there were a couple of extra parts that alluded to a 2 seat version.

I ordered mine here: http://www.cmkkits.com/en/aircraft/nieuport-10-single-seater-version/
It came about 2 weeks ago, so I've had some time to look it over and I can tell you it's a very nice kit. I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't have the early wing with the hole in it, but that's easy enough to do if I want to model that version. Cockpit detail's a bit sparse, but again, that's no big deal. There's an option for a Belgian plane with an aluminum doped finish, which I find totally bogus since Walter Pieters' book shows that very same plane in a CDL finish, which I believe is more accurate.
I built the single seater a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to building this one.

It has taken Special Hobby so long to release this that I had just about given up hope on it. I am glad they finally got around to it.

I built this new kit and it went together quite easily. I did drill out the hole in the top wing to make the earlier version and it wasn't hard to do. Minimual rigging for those who are looking for a relaxing build.
Now tackling the AZ Models Gotha G.V which I can tell you isn't a relaxing build....
