Nieuport detail question
« on: June 30, 2016, 10:04:22 PM »
Hi Guys -just wondered if someone could confirm if the aileron balance/bellcranks in the wings on a Nieu 16 are aluminium coloured or were painted? and if so any idea of colour.

Thanks in advance - Tug

On the Nieuport 11 at Le Bourget they are painted grey.

Thanks Borsos - on one of the images I have they are distinctly darker than the struts which I assume would be the usual bluey grey. I will paint these a darker grey then :)

Thanks again - Tug
