Don't forget this walkaround as well. It's a real one, although it has been restored and recovered, so I don't necessarily trust the finish....

Yeah, there are some areas that are not correct. For example, the side panels?where are they?
Also, the tail skid looks rather unusual; I?ve seen different designs as well, so it?s definitely not a common feature.
Another thing: the black outline for the markings hasn?t been proven to be correct.
The V-strut housing in photos appears to be aluminum, not blue.
Black wheels in 1916? That?s also rather strange.
The outline behind the pilot?s cockpit cutout is missing as well.
Why aren?t the cabane struts painted blue? That goes against the regulations.
The top wing should have outlines on both the left and right half-wings, so you?d see a painted line in the middle. On early Nieuport 11s, you could even spot thin painted stripes on the central ribs, which are thicker and likely served to reinforce the wing surface.
