Special Hobby 1/32 Nieuport 11 Bebe

By Masaki Tsuda

Here is my Nieuport 11 Bebe.

Copper State Models is developing their own Nieuport 11, so I needed to finish my Special Hobby one before CSM releases it. While a CSM Nieuport 11 is promising, I found the Special Hobby one is a good kit. Some parts, such as the wings, are challenging to assemble, but it looks good once finished.

Basically, It’s an OOB build, but I got a Lewis Gun and the gun mount from excess parts of a CSM kit, and the tachometer is derived from the Eduard WWI instruments set. Fortunately, I also got the Le Rhone 9C engine kit from Williams Brothers (1/8 scale), so I built it as well.

I chose a French patriotic marking flown by Jean Navarre, an early French ace in WW1.

The CSM kit will be fantastic with great details, but this one was fun to build.

I hope you all enjoy my build!
