It turns out that it isn't a Nieuport after all. It's a 1/3 scale Mick Reeves Sopwith Camel!!!
It will take me years to build it and as I have other projects to complete first, it will be some time before I can get started on it, however, I'm flattered that Roger thinks that my building skills are good enough for such an advanced model.
The best part of this hobby is the kindness and generosity we receive from a fellow modelers. I have been both the giver and the receiver and can honestly say there is nothing like it!
