Nieuport 11/16 "Bebe" in 1/48
« on: February 19, 2019, 04:55:08 PM »
Here is a Nieuport 11/16 "Bebe" by Smer in 1/48. It is an old kit. Unfortunately, nothing fits well, but I tried to make the most of it.

Looking at that I would never have guessed that nothing fitted well! Looks very good from where I am sitting.

You have done an OUTSTANDING job on this OLD copy of an even OLDER Aurora kit! Looks great!
