The kit comes in well-known light cardboard box with cover art depicting A. Kazakov's Nieuport dogfighting German Albatri D.II. Two sprues molded in light grey styrene, very little flash, 42 parts. The fabric effect on the wings and fuselage surfaces is very subtle. 9-cylinder 'Le Rhone' rotary is a little crude and engine cowling is too thick for the scale. Cockpit parts include seat, stick and side steering rod (literally - no pedals). Armament consists of finely molded Lewis gun with barrel jacket similar to that fitted on Airco D.H.2 (I'm writing this while not at home so I can't tell from the top of my head if this is correct) and eight Le Prieur rockets. Decals provided for five versions: 1. Nie.11C1 #315 'Le Vieux Charles', G. Guynemer, 3eme Escadrille, March 1916 2. Nie.11C1, Alexander Kazakov, XIX. Air Division ('Skull and Crossbones' insignia), August 1916 3. Nie.11C1, 'Alexander Nevskyi', Evgraf Kruten, 2nd Army Air Division, August 1916 4. Nie.11C1, Ukrainian 1st Air Regiment, February 1919 5. Nie.16C1, #131 'Dice', C. Johnson, Escadrille Lafayette, summer 1917 Toko 1/72 Nie.11/16 (approx. size in mm) 1:1 1:72 model wingspan top wing 752 10.44 10.2 bottom wing 740 10.27 9.7 length 564 7.83 8.1 Now I have to figure out which one to build (or two...or three...)

The comment above makes Toko seem utterly slipshod, when in fact they are producing models which may actually regain 1/72 some adherents. FWIW reading a para further through Ivans post, and taking my calculator in hand, the scale error is about 2 inches in span - which is near enough to 2% out IF AND ONLY IF the 1:1 span quoted was measured the same way Ivan measured the kit.

I agree. Sorry for my "excitedness" I should have thought this one through. Yes, Toko is doing (pardon my language) one hell of a job, so I should not be that hard on them. Again, apologies to the list. (However, one error I consider serious is the small span of the SSW D.III top wing. Then again, everyone in 1/72nd has this wrong, so there's that.) >FWIW reading a para further through Ivans post, and taking my >calculator >in hand, the scale error is about 2 inches in span - which is near >enough to 2% out IF AND ONLY IF the 1:1 span quoted was measured the >same way Ivan measured the kit.

It helps ilustrate my point though - Unless we *know* how the 1:1 measurements were derived or whether the scale drawings are "correct" we can't ever be certain which is **right**, the model or the plan/quoted dimensions. So a 2% "error" may in fact be in the drawing, not the model. In engineering terms we are worrying about an error smaller than the tolerance of our measuring system. Life is short. we should all enjoy ourselves and only worry about gross errors, inaccurate shapes and crude detail. Or not, as our own enthusiasms dictate. Soapbox mode off.
