Nieuport 24 colors

[Fokker boy]

Did the Nieuport 24 (in french colors), ever appear in anything besides the dull silver finish?

There is a pic of at least one in 5 color in the DF…

Which datafile are you referring to? I have several on the Nieuports, but don't recall seeing anything. The reason I ask is that I was just gifted a 24 (1:32 Roden kit), but think I'll just go ahead and dump it as I can't find an appropriately cool scheme, and the silver just doesn't make it for me.

It's in one of the 2 "Nieuport Fighters" volumes. I don't have it in front of me so I can't tell you which one. Probably the second volume. The a/c may be a 24bis. It is shown as a war weary school a/c minus armament. It has a worn "V" marking on the side. Quite a cool scheme imo… it's what I plan on doing with mine someday.

Yep, found it, volume 2. I was looking for a color profile, but the aircraft is pictured as a WWI photo instead. Still not quite what I was hoping for though. By the way, the Roden kit I received is the bis version of the 24.

Thanks for the help.

Bo have you found the key to eternal life because I'm guessing your plans run into 2135

I'd have to die, then be reincarnated as myself to finish all the kits I'd like to do "some day", and even then I might not make it.

Um yes, you are right, my plans are probably not realistic.
