See you on the Dark Side......
Nice job Neil.
What did you do with the rockets?

Great work, Neil.
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Lovely job, Neil!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Here is my easy repaint.
The Chaputs Ni.11 by Ares with the red painted fuselage.
Nothing complicated and it looks like one of the Navarres version.
Nicely done, the skull and crossbones looks pretty cool on the tail.
Great looking pieces Jim. I too really like the skull & crossbones.
Very pretty, Jim!

Very nice flight of N.11's, Jim.
The skull & crossbones on the fin makes them look really badass.
One of the two Shapeways N.11's on my workbench is intended for russian service as well.
Very nice! A simple, but effective repaint.
Yes - that'll do nicely!

Serial 3983 (Flight Commander Kenneth Stevens Savory in 'Blue Bird' and Serial 3982 (Flight Sub-Lieutenant William Vazie Simons) of 2 Wing Royal Naval Air Service.
Despite the French insignia, 'Blue Bird' is British. The roundels on the bottom wing are British.

Very nice paint job and cool action scene! The Nieuport is one of my favourite WWI planes. I like especially the blue winged one.
Hi Florian,
I was just thinking I had seen a post from you in a while.
I will be flying 'Blue Bird' in the OTT campaign that will start in March. It should be okay for the first few missions but the competition will get tougher as the missions move into August and September 1916.
I'm liking these Nieuports!
Nice job, as per usual!

Really nice Nieuports Paul.
Beautiful work on those Valom Nieuports, Paul! You and Valom seem to get along just fine Keep that inspiration coming...
All the best,
Matt
1 Wing RNAS - Redford Henry 'Red' Mulock (Serial 3977 - red paint scheme) and Daniel Murray Bayne Galbraith (Serial 3986 - dark blue paint scheme). The serial numbers are for planes these pilots flew but the paint schemes are fictitious. The blue one was inspired by a later one for a RNAS Sopwith Camel (B7190 - WGR Hinchliffe). They will form part of my RNAS scout flight for the upcoming OTT campaign.
'Fixed' the edging between the CDL and blue on the fuselage and tail plus added a blue outline to the white bars on the wings. Not demarcation lines, although the lines serve that purpose, but tape along the rib that separates the white from the CDL. I had debated whether or not to have a blue edging. The white shows up well enough to the eye but not to the camera and these schemes are meant for the OTT AAR so in went the blue lines.
Sorry Paul my rep gun is jammed. So I cannot pass you some well deserved rep points for your hard work on your RNAS Nieuports.
Thanks, chaps.
I’ve planned out the ‘squadron’ for the OTT campaign. Some with historical schemes and some not so much. I’m going with a RNAS unit as the RNAS seems to have been more flexible than the RFC for personalized aircraft. Plus a lot of Canadians / Commonwealth pilots in the RNAS which will figure into my AAR for the OTT campaign. You might not that blue one has Scottish ‘flag’ colours and the red one Canadian ‘flag’. The latter is a bit anachronistic as we didn’t get the maple leaf flag until 50-ish years later but it’s got the real life serial number of a plane flown by Canadian ‘Red’ Mulock - so a red scheme.
Fantasy paint schemes but the serial numbers are correct. Likely the planes were only CDL. The light blue scheme (3993 - Dallas) was inspired by Sopwith Camel C1555, 'Suds" (Luxmoore or Gamon, 78 Home Defence Sqn). The green/mahogany scheme (3994 - Norton) is probably more typical of Nieuport 16 RFC. I've kept the French markings on the underside of the top wing. These are the last Nieuport 11 I need for the OTT campaign Mission 1.
Good job well done Paul.
Rob.

Nicely done! Another one to confuse the enemy on the approach.
There are some lovely paint jobs on this thread, thanks to all for the inspiration. ShadowDragons last 6 are especially nice, very colourful. I had settled on having a go at the Blue Bird scheme but might have to revise that decision having seen the wonderful version here.
And I'm sorry to report my blasted Rep gun is jammed, not been used for so long, it must be rusty, need to get the lubricating oil out.
Nieuport Ni-11 from 62eme Escadrille
This was WoG Chaput's Ni-11
No repainting at all. Just added new decals:
French National Roundels are from WoG Aerodrome
White Early-War 62eme Sqd White Rooster is a home-printed decal.
Number 4 was a white number I had in my surplus decals box, dunno where did it come from
