Bumping the Nieuport thread.
This is the second of the two 1/144 builds, which was made alongside the Esc.3 machine that is shown on page 6. Both of these were made for a book about scratchbuilding WW1 aircraft in 1/144. It's at the editors, so hopefully there will be some good news about it soon.
This one is A.6718 from 60 Squadron, RFC. It was flown by several different pilots in the three months that it survived at the front. In March 1917 it suffered wing failure and lost the lower left wing while in flight. The pilot, Lt AR Penny managed to bring the aircraft down for a forced landing. It went away for repairs and returned sometime later to be seen with a new lower wing, upper right wing, and a fresh propellor & cowling, plus a set of red-white-blue cockades on the wheels.
The last time it was photographed was in June 1917, when it was in the hands of the Germans. After being shot down by Lt Kurt Wolff of Jasta 29. The then pilot, Lt DCG Murray was wounded and became a PoW.
Cheers!
