Description

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Nieuport 17 Ni.3592 of  sottotenente Giovanni Ancillotto of 80ª Squadriglia.  This eleven victory ace was known more commonly as Giannino or Nane.  He joined 80ª in June 1917, when he flew 44 missions in 45 days, but it was not until October that he scored his first victory. It is not 100% certain whether top-wing roundels were applied, never applied, or painted over; I have opted for top-wing roundels.  The underwings are painted in green-unpainted-red sections as was typical for Italian planes at this time.

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.
