SSW D.I Conversation in 1:48
« on: September 23, 2014, 11:58:15 PM »
Just waiting for Lozenge decals from Aviattic for my Group build I will build a rare aircraft.
I take two kits from Eduard for this conservation/ scratchbuild. They are the Nieuport N16 and N17.
It will be the early SSW D.I plane from Ltn Karl Schäfer Jasta 11.
The scale plane are from Jack Harris book Siemens-Schuckert Aircraft of WWI.

Bo we will see what time it use.
Today I began with it. The wings, rudder and tailplane come from the N 16 and the fuselage from the N 17.

I'm looking forward to watching this project come together, Martin.  I'm thinking of doing this one, as well, so I'll be learning from you.
Cheers,

Thank you Bud.
Change the fuselage from N 17 to N 16. Just more work but correcter.
The rudder and tail cut from plasticard.
The new rear spur is made out of copper wire.

I have made a stencil for the front body area.
The fuselage was shortened and reduced in the rear area by the height. In front I have removed the engine partition and have inserted a new one.
The engine cover was changed and a new final area was made for it.
The cockpit interior arrangement is taken over wide going from the N 16 because there are no pictures from D I. Changes are a German seat and belts.
