This is going to be a really interesting model! If I remember correctly some guy a few months ago was trying to sell a SSW D.I model for a tremendous price - something like 600 $ more or less - Radio just think how much money you save by using Eduard Nieuports instead ;)

Hi Martin
I did this one myself a few years ago using sketchy information and the Testors Neiuport 17 kit. I could only guess the colours but one thing I am sure I got wrong was the machine gun arrangement. I was and still am pleased with what I finished up with even though it may be a little inacurate, this is after all a great looking plane. I will be really interested to see your one come together especially since it will most certainly be more accurate than mine.
Cheers, Alan.

Dan thank you.
But this model has no spinner. And the engine needs some changes. It is just in build.

Control cable attached, painted belt buckles and bent. Then underbody glued. The interior is completed with MG belt box, air pump and MG -deduction cable.
Both fuselage halves glued together.
On the sloping rear engine, front made ​​additional part and shaft and glued to the right motor length to have.
Made of balsa wood and plastic to create the residual magnetic / ignition area. As you can see in the pictures is the whole front of the engine.
