A couple of questions:
Might a Nieuport 11 ever have been fitted with a Spandau or Vickers gun instead of a Lewis? (I'm having trouble obtaining a model 7" Lewis whereas I can get either of the other two).

Is there any way to 'clean up' old Solartex so it looks new, or to 'weather' new Solartex so it looks old?

Thanks groupies,

Steve.

ps. I fired up my O.S. 25 engine for the first time recently and, Lo, Glo! she works after been languishing in a cupboard bolted to the Bebe for about 15 years - big thrill for a newbie and a pretty good recommendation for the brand?
