Description

This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Nieuport 24. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.

By mid-1917, Nieuport fighters were seen as second-rate compared to the SPAD 7. The Nieuport 24 was an attempt to update the well-tried Nieuport 17 design. It featured the 130hp Le Rhône engine, all-new ply-covered tail surfaces, and a redesigned wing for better lift. (By May 1917 it had fully supplanted the Nieuport 17 and 24bis in the factories.) It suffered from failures of the lower-wing attachments and Nieuport 24 pilots were warned against extreme aerobatics. It was preceded into service by the Nieuport 24bis, but standard Nieuport 24s reached the front lines in June 1917, and it served with at least forty-eight escadrilles. It was only partially successful in staving off SPAD dominance, though, as many Nieuport units re-equipped with SPADs in the latter months of 1917 and early 1918.

Also available are a Nieuport 24 with both Vickers and Lewis guns and an RFC version with a Lewis on a Foster mount.

The model is offered in different materials. See the FAQ for a comparison of the different material choices. In the Shipping tab, please note the increased shipping costs for an order with mixed materials.

Shipping:  Shipping varies from about US$7 to US$15 per order, depending on the destination country.  See your cart for an exact number — the prices may vary with currency fluctuations.  Orders over US$300 may get free shipping (but see the note on mixed materials).

Mixed Materials:  Nylon prints are shipped from a different factory than resin prints, so if you place an order with a mix of Nylon and Resin, you will be charged shipping for each material, and each will arrive separately.

Taxes:  Sales tax — where applicable — will be added for U.S. shipments.  Value-added taxes (VAT) may (or may not) be collected by your postal carrier on receipt, which is known as “Delivery At Place”.  Unfortunately, since my printing and shipping partner has no way of marking shipments as VAT-paid, this website cannot collect VAT on your behalf.

Customs:  Most orders should be small enough to avoid customs duties, but you may want to check your local regulations.  If duties are due, they may be collected by your postal carrier.  E.U. customers may be able to avoid duties by keeping their order under €150.
