French Nieuport 17C History:
The Nieuport 17 retained the above wing mounted Lewis gun of the "11", and a synchronised Vickers gun. In the Royal Flying Corps, the wing mounted Lewis was usually retained, by now on the improved Foster mounting, a curved metal rail which allowed the pilot to bring the gun down in order to change drums or clear jams. A few individual aircraft carried both guns - but in practice this reduced performance unacceptably.
This Neuport 17 observation display fighter plane has a dimension of 16.125" wingspan and has a 11.6" length. All parts are cautiously carved, plus the vibrant colors and markings are painted on the model for precision.
