Description

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of the Nieuport 11 of sergente Alvaro Leonardi of 80ª Squadriglia.  Over the fuselage roundels is painted “Fortunello“, a popular Italian cartoon character.  Leonardi started his flying career on the Macchi Parasol and Caudron G.3’s, but he moved to fighters in Feb 1917 with 80ª Squadriglia, equipped with Macchi-built Nieuport 11s.  He scored eight confirmed kills and claimed at least two or three more.  He survived the war and served in WWII as the commander of a bomber flight school.

No painting is necessary — this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card.  You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme in the gallery on this page.
