CSM Nieuport 11

[Mike Norris]

Hi all,
'Copper State Models' have have released shots of their Nieuport 11 and 16.
To be released in 1:32 scale,

Outstanding, a new 11 and 16....

I agree more than 100 percent!

Yes! Count me in for several. Glad I binned that Special Hobby kit!

[PrzemoL]

I will probably get one but I am a little bit disappointed by that choice.

[AngryJazz]

Always happy to see more WW1 planes be announced! 

CSM will deliver a quality product.

However maybe its my lack of knowlegde... But I dont see that much difference in appearance compared to the other Nieuports?
Looks like a different cowling?

At last, perhaps I can now stop wrestling with my A Model kit!

11/16 were smaller than 17/23. Knowing CSM I am sure they will take it into account.  But they look similar and that is the reason I am not overjoyed with this release.

I'll support anything CSM do, but having just recently built two Special Hobby Bebes, I would wait quite a bit longer for this release.

There must be a Bristol Scout D in the works and I'd far prefer the promised Hanriot Scouts. I do hope CSM haven't been put off by the Lukgraph releases - seeing various builds of these kits I'm not of a mind to spend 200GBP on fairly rough resin kits, if I could buy three superb CSM Hanriots for the same price.

As I always say, “You can never have too many Nieuports”. And here I am working on a Special Hobby Nieuport 11 as I type this.

I hope so, too.  Given that Lukgraph kits are more expensive and are made from a completely different media, I would hope that this is not an issue.

Also the fuselage is different, the 11/16 had a slab-sided fuselage with "cheeks" behind the cowl rather than the rounded front section of the 17/21.

Lots of cool colour schemes for the 11/16, I have only built one CSM 17 so am really looking forward to this one.

Hi all,
The Nieuport 16 was an improved Nieuport 11 developed in 1916, with a strengthened airframe and powered by a more powerful 110 hp (82 kW) Le Rhône 9J rotary engine.
Visible differences included a headrest for the pilot and a larger aperture in front of the "horseshoe" cowling.
The Nieuport 16 was an interim type pending the delivery of the slightly larger Nieuport 17 C.1, which was designed parrallel with the 16 and which remedied the 16's limitations, as well as improving performance.

So not much difference between the 11 and the 16 it seems,

As has been said, one can never have too many Nieuports. However, as long as everyone else gets to complain, I'll say I sure wish someone would give us one in 1/72nd. The
Toko/Eastern Express kits are horrid.

I know! I know! I'll build 2-3 of the Toko/EE kits, make the corrections, etc. and someone will release a new, state-of-the-art kit. 

I'm tickled pink for the 1/32nd crowd though, I really am.

Some of you WWI List veterans may remember the 1:48 Bristol Fighter that Shane Weier spent about a year laboriously scratchbuilding, only to have Blue Max or somebody release an injection-molded version right after he finished it. Now I know how he felt... although my Amodel N.16 is only about a third scratched (so far)!

But of course I've had a lot of fun, and learned a tremendous amount along the way, so I can't complain.
