Jean Navarre Nieuport 11 (full color)

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of the Nieuport 11 of Lt. Jean Navarre of Escadrille N67.  Navarre flew several Nieuports during his career, starting with this one.  Its fuselage was painted in unmistakable blue, white, and red bands to discourage ground fire from friendly forces.  Navarre was one of France's earliest celebrated aces, scoring his first three victories in Morane-Saulnier planes.  The remainder of his twelve air victories were scored in Nieuports, but his last combat flight was on 17 June 1916 when he was severely wounded.  He also scored 15 probable victories, but the French were very strict in their combat accounting.

No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired.  The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit.  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 at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:N11-Navarre-576-card.jpg.

Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks.  Both are robust materials and fine for gaming.   Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces.  "Matte HDFC" and "Smooth FCN12" choices mean the prints are oversprayed in the factory, and the difference with the overspray is subtle.  You can find more material photos and comparisons at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35581-Material-HDFC-vs-Full-Color-Nylon-12-(MJF).
