Lightweight and manoeuvrable, The Nieuport 28 first flew in June 1917. It was the first fighter from the company to employ a standard two-spar wing. The streamlined fuselage was too slim for twin Vickers guns, so one has to be mounted to the fuselage side. After WW1, some went to the USA with a few entering races, albeit with shortened wings!
Seagull's model is big and beautiful with a laser-cut balsa/ply structure, expertly covered in genuine Oracover. Add some nice sport scale touches and you've a very practical model for all seasons.
