A french Niewport fighter

About this creation

The Nieuport 17 was a french fighter that fought in the first world war between 1916 and 1917. It was a development to the Nieuport 11, featuring 2 machine guns instead of one: a Vickers machine gun behind the propeller and a lewis gun on top of the top wing. The N 17 also had a 110hp engine which spun a 2 bladed propeller, giving the plane a speed of 103mph.

There are some minor modifications compare to this and my last version:

I have replaced the RAF symbols with french symbols.
The fusalage is much longer.
The wings are wider.
I have added the lewis gun on the top wing.
The tail fin is different and more realistic.
There are stands holding the top and bottom wings together.
There is a two bladed propeller unlike my last version, which had four blades.

All these changes have made my Nieuport 17 much more realistic. So here it is:

Front view.

Side view.

Tail fins at the back.

The pilot and controls.

The lewis gun.

Machine guns and propeller.

Birds eye view.

Quoting Christopher Honkzo6 Nicely done, I haven't seen one of these in Lego, but I think it's come out really well, great going, and keep it up!

I built a lego Nieuport because I had a lot of grey bricks, and Nieuports were coloured grey. I'll be uploading anohter plane soon, something much larger than any of my previous planes!
