Truly fantastic result, Alexis. And watching it makes me wonder, why did they do those horrible things to a nice decent Nieuport?  ;D

Hello guys and thank you so much , all very kind of you  :)

Yes it is weird design and a failing one at that . But still there is that certain feel which draws you in , or at least for me it does , it is funky looking !

Prze , they did those horrible things to a Nieuport because they were under the influence ...I don't think it was Tabacco in their pipes !

I really like odd looking machine - but tis one does take the biscuit! I wonder if it flew - at least in a straight line and then down again!

Stunning model and certainly worth having in a collection.

Guten Tag Stephen  :)

Yes it did fly but not well do to wing fluttering of the top wing and never went in production . Other flying charateristics played factors as well .

Thank you so much Stephen  :)

Your model really turned out beautifully, Alexis. For such an awkward looking aircraft, it's such an interesting build - and wonderful result from your busy hobby bench. Congrats!
Cheers,
Gary

That looks really interesting. Amazing how early aviation overcame the physics of flight.

Neat-Oh, Alexis.  I guess WNW will never make the Nieuport triplane!

I want to make a flying model of that sucker...

Well done!  ;)
