Serendipitous that you should bring up this particular Kartonowa Kolekcja (KK) N11 model, as I'm currently building two versions (the kit and one repaint). The kit parts are an excellent fit, and I personally appreciate the cardboard frames - they give a wonderfully solid feel to the models.
The N11 was/is a very small airplane, so in 1:33 it's still relatively small, being about the size of the Fokker DR.1. In that regard, here's an example of just how diminutive these WWI birds were
As an aside, I was so impressed with my first KK kit (the PUP) that I also bought the N11, Fokker D.VII, Fokker EV, Sopwith Pup, Sopwith Camel, DH.82, and Zero ... along with their laser cut frames. Also, many 1:32 accessories are available for Paper Model non-purists.
The KK designer has a new model that is supposed to be out this week - if it's WWI, I'll be getting it for sure!
EDIT: The new model is an
Israeli Modified Cobra -- Bell AH-1F "Tzefa". Up your alley, Michael!
