Does anyone know if the plastic nose cone from the Sopwith Camel will fit on the Nieuport 11? It looks correct, and if so, I think it could make for a nice and simple conversion for the Nieuport 17.

Out of all the people looking at this thread, no one knows?
Guess I'll have to try it myself sometime and see what happens!

Well, luckily for us, Guillow's is selling all the parts off individually so that we can try these "conversions" without spending an arm and a leg for entire kits.
