Following the end of hostilities, the French AirForce decided to work 'outside the square' by building more monoplanes.
There first attempt, converting a Nieuport 11 into a low wing fighter. After several test flights, it was decided to 'Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow' by making a series of Parasols instead.

Model: Fiddlers Green Nieuport 11 (1/60th)
Changes : upscaled to 1/35. used top wing, first reducing it's span and gluing with wire spars and adding the 'V' struts. Also changed the undercarriage and adding a Tamiya figure as pilot.

One last shot of this project...before they were put to a better use, ending up as kids amusement rides at the annual fair.
