Italeri 2508S - 1/32 Nieuport 17 Classic Biplane Kit  [IT-2508S]

Scale Reproduction of the Nieuport 17

The Italeri 2508S - 1/32 Nieuport 17 kit renders the classic French fighter with attention to structural detail, reflecting its evolution from the Nieuport 11. The design improvements included larger wings and a stronger engine to boost performance. Initial armament featured a Lewis 7.7 mm gun; later conversions used a synchronised 7.7 mm Vickers for forward firing.

This model represents machines flown on the Western Front from mid 1916 and underlines the Nieuport 17s role in regaining local air superiority. Pilots such as Albert Ball and W.A. Bishop flew this type to many victories. Decal choices for five versions are provided to help model makers create period-correct markings.
