    Very tasty they are too Darell.
    A few French machines also make a pleasant change.

    Bought for the purpose Peter, family matters I shant bore anyone with delayed the job about two weeks or it would have been done the following day - the others are simply awaiting decals that are on order from Dom and maybe a tip from you...

    Default WGF Italian Front - 1/144 Ares Nieuport 11

    Having purchased two Italian Sottetenete Giovani Ancilotto Nieuport 11 Bebe scouts I looked for an alternate scheme for my 'spare' - and found a dearth of information.

    In the end I selected Nieuport 11 serial N.1763 assigned to 75 Squadriglia Caccia in the second half of 1916. The squadron was formed at Tombetta field on 1 May 1916 under the command of Captain Scarpis Maffeo and assigned to the 3rd Air Defence Group with the task of protecting the city of Verona. I have not been able to determine precisely which pilot flew the aircraft as yet but there are several candidates named in this web article - http://www.ilfrontedelcielo.it/files_5/57_75.htm (in Italian).

    This was a very quick re-identification of the 'Bebe'. First I removed the existing serial number decal from the fuselage using some Micro-Sol and a sharp blade.

    Then I measured the side and top of the fuselage and printed a homemade decal (image below) which I applied to the fuselage just behind the cockpit.

    I made the decal about an eighth of an inch longer than the measurement to make sure it was not short then used a very sharp pair of craft scissors to trim the end.

    Yes indeed that gives me two Nieuport 11s, 1 SPAD S.VII (F-Toys repaint), 1 SPAD S.XIII, 2 Macchi flying boats and 4 Hanriot HD.1s. Almost a squadriglia!

    A good job Carl, and very thoughtful to include the Decal in case anyone wishes to emulate your fine conversion.
    Just can't get enough Italian myself.

    Anyone catch the error in the first photo? DUH! Fixed it as soon as I saw it in the photo!

    I have to get some very small decal #s so I can put the '12' in the pennant.

    Great work on the N.11s Peter, that Rose decal looks suitably delicate.

    Thanks Carl. The rose is not a decal. Thanks goodness for 0/20 brushes! As soon as I finished this plane my wife put her claim on it.

    Thanks Kelly. Putting on games is great for hitting the painting list hard and fast. I love to paint but sometimes I fall off the pace I want so I submit games that make me paint up some planes I don't already have. This then gets me back into a painting groove and other planes get done too.

    For me, this just results in me wanting to paint more planes, but ultimately falling further behind, then resorting to using those I already finished previously!

    This works if the planes I 'need' to paint for the upcoming battle are types I do not have or don't have enough of. I agree it is difficult to paint more of what you already have more than enough of. Luckily I don't have many in that catogory yet.

    Come on, Peter - with a 20-ought brush you can paint the '12' on the pennant! These three look smashing, too! Great work and continued inspiration

    I'll bring these to Origins along with a 20-ought brush for you to finish the '12' on the pennant!
