Very good, Alexis.

Very well done, unusual planes are a great addition to any collection and this is a really eyecatching one.

Nice model. Interesting addition to the Nie collection.
I've only ever seen it on plans or the few pictures extant: in 3D we see what a curious beast it was. Must have been a nightmare trying to climb into that cockpit.
From underneath all the roundels must have hypnotized an enemy being bounced!
Nice one.

I think, not much different to the biplane. The middle wing is far away in the front, and the top wing is, also due to the cut out, mostly after the cockpit.
I find the cut out on the rear edge of the upper wing somehow interesting. It is mole or less useless in this configuration and is a sign, the there was a different layout before.

I must build this bird too!

Cheers,
Frank

Fantastic Alexis! An interesting addition to your Nieuport roster. It is such an unusual configuration that it is somewhat difficult to get used to. Nonetheless, you've done a marvelous job of creating a lovely model of this unique triplane. Very well done.

Best regards,

Bob

An odd beauty, Alexis. Thanks for showing this unusual design.
