I think it's important how you approach this kit: having just completed the superb CSM Nie17, I rather sailed into the SH Nie11 without too much thought and, in the middle of construction, I hit several problems that I should have considered and dealt with beforehand.
I used to make a lot of vacforms, resin kits and scratchbuilds and would plan ahead for things like wing geometry and mounting positions etc and, had I taken that approach, this build would have been much smoother. The Special Hobby Bebe is not a bad kit and has nicely moulded and fairly accurate components - but it lacks the locating pins and strut mounting points etc that we expect on a modern kit. As long as you approach it with this in mind it will reward with a nice little replica of the N.11.
I hope SH reissue this kit but spend a little time on re-engineering these areas.
Anyway, here she is in the livery of N642 of Escadrille N12 flown by Pierre Dufaur de Gavardie, one of the decal options provided in this OOP release.
