Product Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Nieuport 24bis N3772 of Sgt. Andrew Courtney "Court" Campbell of Escadrille SPA124, the Lafayette Escadrille. It is not certain what the "BAT" legend means, nor the device on the plane's deck behind the cockpit, but Campbell was photographed with this machine in July 1917. He once survived losing the entire lower left wing of a Nieuport 23 while practicing maneuvers. Campbell was shot down on 1 Oct 1917 when he engaged four Hannover CL.IIIs while flying his SPAD.
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:N24bis-Campbell-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" choice means the prints are spray-coated in the factory, and the difference with the coating 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).
If you are willing to prepare and paint models, you can find an inexpensive single-color print of a Nieuport 24bis at https://shpws.me/SxLF or https://shpws.me/SxLG.
