some more of this wire birds, the Ni 17 was a redesign of the Ni 11 with new engine and the fuselage hs a wider fuselage, so the cowling ring has the same diameter as the fuselage, the Ni 11 has enlarge plates, The Ni 23 has more weight in structure so they chanched to a more powerful engine..

this is the old Testors kit (initial Hawk 1952, rebox from 1989) with some spare parts from Eduard, Eduard Decals..

Ni-23, B 3578, Lt. Laurence Kert, No 29 Sqn RFC, Westfront, November 1917

Anyone who can do bi-planes has my respect. I have tried three times and all three crashed and burned horribly. Very nice on the above models!
