I present Ni16 No. A134 flown in 11 Squadron of RFC by

Albert Ball. On 2nd of July 1916 near Lens he shot down two enemies: Roland C.II and Aviatik C.
Have a good time.

Hey there PrzemoL - nice little Nieuport- always good to see them in RFC markings. Nice post shading too.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Excellent work as all of your models

By the way- are you sure that on the top is only two colors?

Cheers

Thanks, Sreiko.
One cannot be sure of many things concerning the RFC Nieuports, A134 in particular - layout of colours, presence of edge fabric tapes, their colour, presence of top wing cockades, etc. Concerning the camo colours I followed the notes on fabric colours in Windsock on Nieuport Fighters.

To be honest I enjoy in the images of your kit, no matter about the scheme

Very pretty indeed!

Thank you, Sreiko and John.
Sreiko, are there indeed any new facts to deny this apparently two-colour French scheme? I will surely not change this model but I would like to learn more about it.

It look like that my model was first one to be built in correct scheme. In that topic, long time ago, was published several color images from WW1 of this plane and they are without doubt proof three color on topside. I grant thanks to Froggy, Stephen Lawson and Greg Van for their outsanding help in this search.
