ReccePhreak Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I have a Special Hobby 1/48 Nieuport 10 "Single Seater Version", but I have aftermarket decals for a Royal Siamese Air Service Nieuport 11. I don't have any references on these planes, but I can't really see any differences between the two aircraft. Can I use my Special Hobby Ni-11 single seater version, or should I sell it and get the Eduard Ni-11 Weekend Edition instead? The only other thing I notice is the decal instruction drawings show the plane with wire spoked wheels. Does anybody make PE "spokes" for the kit, or even decals to represent the wires?

Jure Miljevic Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hello Larry I am not familiar with SH or Eduard kits, but real Ni.10 was considerably longer and had a larger wingspan than Ni.11. Also, fuselages differed considerably, as did the undercarriages. Did you perhaps mean Ni.11 and Ni.16? Apart from engines, those two types were very similar.

mackem01 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Don't know about airframe differences but if it's spoked wheels your after then Hannants keep a set for the Polkarpov po2 that can be adapted by drilling out the centre of the kit wheels - I did this on my Ninak. The company is called Metallic Details. Do a search by typing in "spoked wheels" on the Big H website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The N10 will not be an easy conversion to the N11, if you want an 11 better to buy an 11 or 16 model. The 10 and 12 were two seaters, the 11 a single seater. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned in my original post, I have a Special Hobby 1/48 Nieuport 10 "Single Seater Version, not the 2 seater version. I did manage to trade for an Eduard 1/48 Nieuport Ni-11, and since I have found color profiles for both the single-seat Ni-10 AND the Ni-11 in Royal Siamese Aeronautical Service, I will keep both kits and do them in RSAS markings.

Brandy Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I understand that, but it was still a 2 seater without the front seat, a totally different aircraft from the single seat 11. Looking forward to seeing them built! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
