[WWI] PE for Nieuport 11

[Sean Brian Kirby]

 Does anyone know if Eduard or Part made a PE set for the Nieuport 11 other
> than that inside the Profipack box?

PART did some, of course, for the 1:72 Bebés and Nie.16s, but none, that I
know if, for 1:48th '11s.

I don't know, just off the top of my head, how much of what, if anything, in
the aftermarket Eduard Nieuport 17 set may apply to the Nieuport 11, but it
does have stuff not found in the '17's Profi. As an aside, I think Tom's
Modelwork's brass seat-frame for the Nie.17 is much nicer than that supplied
with the extra Eduard set. I say it's an aside, as I think (think) the '17's
seat was mounted differently than was that in the '11.

Speaking of seat mounting... I just got my first Eduard Nie.16, the Limited
Edition. I already have a couple of their Nieuport 11s, and what etch is
offered with this kitting of the '16 has a good bit more than what's
available in the Nieuport 11 Profipack... including what appears to be some
seat-mounting framing. The side interior detail appears to be a bit more
substantial, too. I am trying to figure what to do with this, because I want
to see if I can do this thing mostly box-stock, with some nice Americals
markings I have.

Hope this helps, at least a little.


Dicta Ira!
