I'd like to do my CSM Nieuport 17 Early as Ball's A.213 just to be different. In Osprey's No. 60 Sqn RFC/RAF color plates A.213 is depicted in French two-tone camouflage, along with the cone de penetration and plain cowl (no reinforcements) but with the solid upper wing. I've also encountered a photo on the internet depicting Ball's "A.212" (apparently in cammo with smooth cowl and "cdp") with the clear center section in the CSM 32001 kit. Would French serial N1579 be too late in the series to have the clear center panel? Can anyone out there provide a definitive answer?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards, Rob
