Spada Decals LL Ni17/20: Nieuport 17

Moving to something a bit more modern from WWI, this particular set of sheets covers the aircraft of two French Aces; Charles Nungesser and Marc Ambrogi.

There are two of Nungesser's planes. One is from Escadrille N65 from early summer of 1916 and is in overall aluminum dope with his famous crest on the side of the aircraft. The second of his planes from July 1916 is in a green and brown camouflage scheme with the undersides in clear doped linen. this aircraft also sports a blue spinner.

The second pilot is Marc Abrogi and his aircraft is shown from the end of 1917/early 1918. It is in overall aluminum dope.

The instruction sheet provides additional information on painting these planes and a listing of colors from Mister Kit. For a kit, I believe that only Hobbycraft or Academy offer this one in 1/32 scale. But like other Laser Line sheets, this one is available in all the popular scales.
