Model Airplane Factory offers you this elegant Nieuport 17 model made from mahogany wood. Every model plane is a work of art. From raw kiln-dried mahogany wood, it undergoes processes to accomplish a precise Nieuport 17; from carving, sanding, coating, painting and detailing to a creatively done wooden replica of the actual aircraft. Every part and detail is given equal attention to retain the actual specification of the aircraft.


The Nieuport 17 was a French biplane fighter aircraft of World War I, manufactured by the Nieuport Company.

It was a slightly larger development of the earlier Nieuport 11, and had a more powerful engine, larger wings, and a more refined structure in general. At first, it was equipped with a 110 hp (82 kW) Le Rhône 9J engine, though later versions were upgraded to a 130 hp (97 kW) engine. It had outstanding maneuverability, and an excellent rate of climb. Unfortunately, the narrow lower wing - which marked it as a "sesquiplane" design, with literally "one-and-a-half wings" - was weak and had a disconcerting tendency to disintegrate in flight, from the lower wing's single spar construction.

Nieuport 17 is a made-to-order model. Production & Delivery time for a Made To Order model is approximately 12-14 weeks.
