LF Scan of Toko Nieuport 11 Instructions

[Procopius]

Heyo,

I bought an Eastern Express rebox of the Toko Nieuport 11, and didn't realize that as a cost-saving measure, my friends at EE omitted the decal guide for any but the very first marking option. I was hoping to build my Bebe as Guynemer's machine; could I impose upon some kind soul to scan that page of the instructions for me?

Hi Proco.

Are you in a rush with these plans?

Don't have a scanner at home but i may scan the plans on monday for you.

Toko Ni.11 has some big issues... the lower wing it's a big headache... 4 mm short!

Here:


 

From 1mm plastic card this is how i worked things out:

 




Outer strut had to be repositioned too. You may check the undercarriage spread bar and legs if you have the datafile (special volume 1) in hand.
There are other issues with engine and decals for Guy aircraft (being the wrong type of letters used and no cooling decal "Le Vieux Charles"), the rest goes quite straight forward if i can remeber... it's been a while since my Ni.11 from Jean Navarre.

Cheers

No, not really. I have a number of kits before I get to the Nieuport 11; just so long as I have it when I finally do get around to it.

Ack! Well, that's unfortunate, but good to know. Hopefully my skills will have developed to where I can handle widening the lower wing. I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by "no cooling decal", though.

Sorry, sometimes it's hard for me to explain 

The Ni.11 from Guy had " The Vieux Charles" written in the front cooling of his aircraft... that decals it's missing in the decal sheet.

No worries, I follow you now. My decal sheet seems to have that one, at least. So I'll just have to figure out the wings. Thanks for telling me! I also have an EE Nieuport 16, so I'll need to do that for it as well.

Hi Proco.

You have a PM.
