Italeri 2508 - 1/32 Nieuport 17 WWI  [IT-2508S]

NIEUPORT 17

The French biplane fighter Nieuport 17 ended up being directly produced from its predecessor, the Nieuport 11, plus it adopted several improvements, like the bigger wings and the most effective engine, to boost its aerodynamic and its particular performance. The very first variations were still designed with the Lewis 7.7 mm machine gun mounted on top wing. The Lewis gun had been changed, within the French Aèronatique Militaire fighters, with a more contemporary synchronized 7,7 mm. Vickers machine gun shooting through propeller disk. The Nieuport 17 had been applied to the western front through the center of 1916 and has now significantly added to counterbalance the atmosphere superiority regarding the German fighters. The Nieuport 17 had been flown by famous aces that obtained many victories onto it whilst the British ace Albert Ball and the Canadian ace W.A. Bishop.
