The Nieuport XVII is a French fighter aircraft that entered service in 1916 and quickly gained recognition for its maneuverability and excellent flight qualities. The aircraft was used by the French, British, as well as Italian and Russian air services during combat on the Western Front of World War I. The characteristic national insignia, so-called "roundels" (blue-white-red roundels) and the vertical stripes on the rudders, were an integral part of the paint schemes of aircraft from that era.

The mask set from Copper State Models enables professional and very precise recreation of historical emblems, highly surpassing decals in terms of realism. The foil used in this set ensures clean edges and does not damage the base coat. The masks are easy to use – both beginner and advanced modelers will appreciate their performance.

We especially recommend this set to modelers interested in World War I aviation, who care about achieving the highest level of model realism. The difficulty of using the masks is rated at 2/5 – a basic skill in working with an airbrush or a brush is enough to achieve a great effect. This is a perfect addition to any 1/32 scale Nieuport XVII models from any leading brand.
