Nieuport 17 C.1

COBI 2998 – Nieuport 17 C.1 – The Birth of an Aviation Legend

Take to the skies and immerse yourself in the era of daring pioneers and bold maneuvers. With the Nieuport 17 C.1, you bring a piece of gripping military history in 1:32 scale into your collection. Featuring the distinctive red and white markings of the Polish Air Force, this model tells the story of early aviation when the sky was still an untamed frontier. It is more than just an aircraft; it is a symbol of technical ingenuity and historical significance from the Great War era.

The model captures the characteristic sesquiplane design, where the lower wing is significantly smaller – a detail COBI has perfectly realized using specialized shaped bricks. Thanks to the legendary clutch power, the building process is a tactile joy resulting in an exceptionally sturdy model. Every line of the sleek fuselage and the wing construction feels authentic, while the rotating propeller completes the nostalgic aesthetic.

Whether as a compact highlight in a collector's display or a robust model for historical re-enactments, the Nieuport 17 C.1 impresses with uncompromising attention to detail. The included pilot in era-appropriate gear fits perfectly into the cockpit, completing this historical display piece.
