+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted August 22, 2011 I uploaded the Nieuport 12 this afternoon. It has the Etévé gun mount in the back and windows in the upper wing. My thanks once again to Ojcar for making the FM, and to Nix, Sinbad, Whiteknight06604, and 33Lima who provided suggestions and resources for the Nieuport 12. This will be my last plane for a while. I need to get back to real life. I will keep making planes, but I'll be going much slower than I have been. Your feedback on any of my planes would be appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck 496 Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks, Stephan. Given how much you've provided, and in such a short time, I think everyone understands your need to take a break and slow it down. Your work is much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

33LIMA 972 Posted August 23, 2011 Just flew my first mission in the N.12, in FE2, an armed recce which was pursued coming off the target by some Halberstadts. Managed to bag two of them with the upper-wing Lewis, once I'd worked out what to use as a sight picture (got them just below the upper rim of the windshield) and before I ran out of rounds. My observer didn't help much; we got shot up a fair bit but I jinked away and made a run for it at treetop height, after flying level for a bit but finding my gunner was tracking the vengeful third Halberstadt that was attacking from behind, but not opening fire at it. After getting out of the Halberstadt's line of fire and levelling out, the rudder fell off (not under fire at that moment) and then as I tried to keep her level for a forced landing the left lower wing fell off too and in we went. Quite a mission! She manouuvres ok tho takeoff and climb are both very sluggish (flying on Hard FM) which is maybe right for a twin-gun 2-seater with 130HP. Loved the transparent Cellon effect in the centre-section and the ribs showing through, also the stance of the observer with one hand on the pistol grip and the other on the gun ring, he certainly looks like he means business! Great little plane, she is! Thanks again Stephen - great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grinseed 19 Posted August 24, 2011 A very nicely made addition to the aircraft for FE, Stephen. Thank you very much for all your hard work. I hadn't paid much attention to the N12 before. Must say I now have the utmost respect for the courageous crews who flew in it, given the load it carries and the limited horsepower. Your model was a sluggish on take off as I expected it should be. Another great crate. Enjoy your break. I sincerely hope you wont be gone too long. Cheers Grinseed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
