Italeri 2508S - 1/32 Nieuport 17 Heritage Scale Kit  [IT-2508S]

1/32 Nieuport 17 Replica with Period Detail

The Italeri 2508S - 1/32 Nieuport 17 kit reproduces the character of the famous French fighter, showing the lineage from the Nieuport 11 and the changes that made the 17 a sharper performer. The model notes the larger wing planform and the step up to a stronger engine that improved handling. Early fits included a Lewis 7.7 mm gun and many machines later received a synchronized 7.7 mm Vickers for better forward firing.

This kit reflects the Nieuport 17s that served on the Western Front from mid 1916 and highlights the type's role in countering German fighters. Pilots like Albert Ball and W.A. Bishop scored notable victories flying this type. The box set contains decals for five authentic versions so builders can replicate different markings and paint schemes.
