Default RE: Building the Proctor Nieuport 11

Although I've done some smaller stuff for static display, this is my first attempt at a flying WWI model and I'm learning a lot about how the structure works. Does anyone happen to have a pic or link that shows how the full-scale N11 wing is internally braced? I'm wondering if there were compression bars between the spars like on the Albatros and Nieuport 28 wing.

Don, at this point I like having the safety net (and convenient parts) of a well designed kit. At the same time it's fun to make a small change here and there to make it my own. One day I hope to scratch build straight from Wylam drawings. The Antoinette fascinates me and I would love to scratch that plane in 1/4 or 1/5 scale. For now this N11 is challenge enough!
