S. Uehlinger Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 This is the old Revell/ESCI Nieuport 17 kit. I have built several of them, and although simplistic and dated (from the 1960s) - I think it builds out to be a Good Model...especially with Rigging! In this case, I chose to make it a Soviet Nieuport used in the Russian Civil War - Slavnoe's Air Group, 13th Air Detachment, Priyamino Airfield in Byelorussia, May 1920. The decals are extras from the Roden Nieuport 24Bis kit. I love the Macabre Skull and Crossbones on this Aircraft - The Russians seem to be particularly fond of these types of Totems....It's a Slavic Thing (Chorniy Humor - Black Humor). The World War One theme is quite addictive now that I have gotten into it - the Personal decorations and Colorful Markings make the period unique. One can make innumerable permutations of each aircraft.... plus many of these (now Revell Germany) old kits can be found for about $5! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
