Oh my friends, what a overwhelming feedback! Thank you very much!

Manni, this is not that fast. I started this beginning of January in my holiday. It it is not a WNW kit, around 20 plastic parts and some PE.
There are people doing such model as weekend project ::)

Hm, he's building Nieuport V-struts from real wood...
This is a matter of justice! My Nieuport 11 has wooden struts, so if I would build this one without that would mean models fighting tooth and nail in the glass cabinet. ;)

I like this idea and I will copy it. And no one can stop me (Arrrharrharr!!)
Have you asked for a licence? You will be contacted by my counsel.

Joking of course :) Feel free! But remember, the original struts are hollowly inside.

Having been away twice recently I have missed much of the recent progress. This is simply amazing modelling - wonderful finish and super deatils.

Thank you!
But after browsing more pictures more pictures there seems to be a cover on the hinge and two bolts, which some Nieuports do not have, as the picture above. So Eduard is also right. I found also a picture, where the lower cover are missing.

Good god, I am late in looking in and commenting. Yes, it is right, most Nieuports had covers over the V-Strut-roots:

But to build one without them makes your Nieuport unique. I haven't seen this yet modelled. It looks amazing!
Your Nieuport is already a stunner and I can't wait to see it completed.
