An injection-molded plastic kit of the single-seat Nieuport Ni-16 fighter biplane by the Czech manufacturer Kovozavody Prostejov in 1:72 scale. The Aces edition brings schemes and markings of machines flown by well-known fighter aces of the First World War. The model is meant to be assembled and painted, and decals are usually part of the package.
The Nieuport 16 was a French fighter aircraft of 1916 developed from the smaller Nieuport 11 Bébé. It received a more powerful Le Rhône rotary engine and had a characteristically much narrower lower wing, the sesquiplane layout typical of the whole Nieuport fighter family. It served with the French Air Force and with British and Russian units in the period of the peak air fighting over the Western Front; the armament consisted of a machine gun above the upper wing, or of a synchronized machine gun in front of the pilot. In its day it was among the agile and popular machines, although more powerful types soon replaced it.
Clean up the small parts of the biplane carefully and glue them with thin cement for plastic. The cockpit and the glazing come into their own with an airbrush and period shades; do not forget the rigging, that is the bracing wires between the wings and to the fuselage, which gives a First World War model the right look. A primer, subtle highlighting of the panel lines and a suggestion of the rib structure on the wing covering are all worth doing. The rotary engine and its cowling deserve separate attention when the metallic shades are painted.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
