Lukgraph Resin Kit is reportedly following up their new Hansa Brandenburg Type NW model kit with a 1/32 Nieuport 29.
Designed and built by Nieuport-Delage for the French Air Force, the Hispano-Suiza -powered Nieuport 29 performed its maiden flight in 1918 but wasn’t ordered into production until 1920. It was the fastest service fighter in the world at the time and went on to serve around the world. It was also used for racing and set eight world speed records while also winning the 1920 Gordon Bennett Trophy and the 1922 Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe competition.
Details on the upcoming kit are currently scarce, although the set will reportedly contain “a large selection of scheme paintings, including the Italian known as Macchi/Caproni Ni. 29.” Liveries for three Italian machines have been released (see below) and more will follow representing machines serving in France, Spain, Sweden, Japan, Belgium, Argentina and Siam.
