Description

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Nieuport 24bis N3588 of Lieutenant Paul Tarascon of Escadrille N62.  This 24bis features a “cône de penetration” on the propeller face.  Undeterred by losing a foot in a flying accident, Tarascon scored twelve air victories and ten probables, all with N62/SPA62.  All of Tarascon’s planes seem to have been labeled “Zigomar” with a number increasing in succession.  He was known as “l’as la jambe de bois” (“The ace with the wooden leg”).

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.
