CSM32015 1:32 Copper State Models Nieuport XI Italian Service

The Nieuport 11 Early Version is a pivotal aircraft in World War I history, introduced in early 1916 to address the challenges posed by the German Fokker Eindecker series during the Fokker Scourge. This model features long cockpit side panels, a distinctive feature of this machine.

Powered by an 80-horsepower Le Rhône rotary engine, the Nieuport 11 achieved speeds of approximately 175km/h, making it one of the fastest biplanes of its time. Its innovative sesquiplane design, characterized by a shorter lower wing, provided exceptional manoeuvrability. As the Allies sought to regain control of the skies, the Nieuport 11 became instrumental in countering the Fokker threat, proving itself as a reliable and effective fighter. This historically accurate model captures the essence of this legendary aircraft, making it a must-have for modelers and aviation history enthusiasts alike.
