Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Nieuport 17 N1720 of Adjutant René Pierre Marie Dorme of Escadrille N3. Dorme had 23 official air victories and 20-70 probables, ranking him as France’s ninth-leading WWI ace (tied). His first air combat came in March 1916, and with a transfer to N3 in June, scoring his first confirmed victory in July. In January 1917 he was promoted to Sous Lieutenant. His career was cut short in May 1917 when he was killed in air combat. This Nieuport is decorated with “Peré Dorme 3“, a stylized “12” plane number, and the Cross of Lorraine on the rear deck.
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.
