Best reviews of 🔔 Nieuport 28c1 WWI French BiPlane Fighter 1/32 Roden ✔️

 

The Nieuport 28C1 significantly differed from all of its predecessors. This aircraft is still considered one the most elegant fighters of its time. It had a 160hp engine, the Gnome-Rhone Monosoupape 9N, and was armed with two Vickers guns installed on the fuselage (one in the center, one at the port side). After entering the war, the US did not have its own air force and one had to be hastily created by purchasing the necessary military equipment from its allies. In March 1918, 297 machines of the Nieuport 28C1 type were transferred to the 94th and 95th Aero Squadrons and shortly afterwards began to fight against the enemy. By the mid-1920s the Nieuport 28C1 was considered completely obsolete and machines of this type were sold to numerous air circuses and to Hollywood.
