Default RE: Building the Proctor Nieuport 11

While watching parts glue together thoughts have begun to turn toward how this mount will look in finished form. I've been going over some of the more famous planes and am leaning toward this one. It was flown by Lt. Armand De Turenne while in Escadrille N48. I like it because its colorful but leaves the wings in clear doped linen so when its in the air you can see through the wings. The wings are outlined in dark brown. I think the insignia on the sides is basic enough I can paint it by hand so thats an added plus.

I like Belgian colors but haven't seen an N11 with a Belgian tail that jumps out at me yet.
