Thanks so much, Prez!  It's quite clear why, after the 10, they called the 11 "Bebe".






Quite a difference is size, no?
Cheers,
Bud

Lovely work Bud. She looks excellent, nicely turned out. The comparison shots with the 11 are interesting ;)

Thanks, Andrew.  I find the size comparison interesting, too.  I had no idea the 10 was so much larger until this project.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks for the comparison shots Bud. I had never really focused on the size difference between the 10 and 11. Very interesting.

Bud you churn them out at a rate of knots and you're not afraid to steer clear of the shake and bake models either and every one is a gem.

Excellent work as usual, the WWI scene is blessed with some excellent modellers.

Thanks for the kind comments, guys.  They are deeply appreciated.
Gary, I actually need an occasional shake'n'bake, like Eduard's Nieuports, to maintain my sanity.  So far, it's not working.
Cheers,
Bud

A real beauty in all respects, Choice of scheme, overall finish, weathering, rib effect, rigging etc!

Beautiful work Bud. You're really on a Noop kick of late aren't you?

Thanks, Warren!  I am on a bit of a Nieuport binge.  While my current build is a Rumpler C.I for the 2 seater GB, I've got a Nie.17bis next in line.
Cheers,
Bud

[still catching up] really lovely Bud, the mixed markings are especially appealing.

Thanks, Bo (Tony)!  The mixed markings are the main reason I chose this scheme, although an explanation is required for the uninitiated.  I took her to a local model show and a friend of mine overheard a judge commenting that "this guy must've botched the
markings".  My friend explained it to him, but I don't think he believed him.
Cheers,
Bud
