Hi Dave, Kiwi Resin makes a set for the Lafayette Escadrille (Nie 11 & 17).  They sell on eBay and at kiwiresin.com.  Not associated with them, but plan to use them eventually.

 I fear you'll find aftermarket decals for the 1/32 Nieuport 17 few & far between. . . Spada did sheets for French, Italian, & RFC Nie.17's (and Belgian & Italian  Nie. 11's)  and Americal/Gryphon may have offered some, but both companies have long since ceased production.
 Juan's suggestion is currently your best bet.

Dave,
I have that set; ordered at the .com site provided by Juan. Good and fast service, they look good and I'll be using it on my Nie. 11. At the price I thought it a great deal!
Cheers,
Lance

Hi Richard, those are very nice but they are 1/48th and he is looking for 1/32nd.

Ahh - I did wonder. There is no scale listed on them.

I have been wondering if one way would be to take the personal markings from other aeroplanes and use them on the Nieuport 17. There are Russian markings for the 21 for instance: http://www.begemotdecals.ru/showpos.php?lang=2&id=126

I was hoping to locate the personal markings for Nungesser, I can't find them as an aftermarket decal

Sorry, I meant to post this link. Swap the 9C for the Ni. 17's 9J, and you have a Nie.21 necessary for using Begemot's decals.
