CSM Nieuport 11 Early

[petrov27]

Really nicely done - I do not see any glitches from here - great choice of scheme and you have pulled it off nice!

Fabulous work Nigel - saw it sitting next to David Lane's in the photos from the Bovington show today. I really like the scheme you picked, and your subtle weathering touches 
Cheers,

Yes, they looked good together and drew quite a lot of attention - David and I were doing our best sales job for CSM!

This is a gorgeous build Nigel! Beautiful work and I'm particularly fond of the weathering.

Dang, Nigel!  Put's mine to shame.  I really like the oil and dirt too.  Looks like castor oil for sure.  I'm trying to finish my gun set up.  Where on earth does the trigger cable actually go in the cockpit?  I have not been able to figure that out...

Lovely finish.  Congrats!

Thanks very nuch guys!

Where on earth does the trigger cable actually go in the cockpit?  I have not been able to figure that out...

As to where it goes inside the cockpit, I have no idea. There must be a trigger somewhere (on top of the control column?) and somehow it must link to that. But I didn't bother with that as it can't be seen.....

As for the external route, from what I can make out from photos the cable appears to pass into the cockpit via the right rear cabane strut, so I attached mine to the back of that.

I may have got it completely wrong, but I thought the trigger cable was just anchored at somewhere acording to pilot preference near the cockpit end and pulling slack of the cable operated the trigger directly

Hi Nigel,
That's a great looking Noop.
Looks good on the SIG displays,

I forgot we already had a good discussion of this here: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=10091.0

Looks like it could just hang loose in the cockpit (seems dangerous to me, but then flying these things was inherently so.....)

Thanks Mike, it was nice having two of them side by side at Bovington. We were encouraging people to get the kit!

Thanks Brad! Sadly there won't be any aircraft coming along for a few months as I am currently working on a diorama project which will keep me busy for at least a couple of months......
