1:144 Nieuport 10AV
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Nieuport 10 unarmed two-seater. Four different Nieuport 10s are available: an unarmed two-seater, a single-seat fighter, a 10AR with a standing front-firing gunner, and this 10AV with a rear-firing gun. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
This Nieuport 10AV is a two-seater with the observer in the rear seat with a machine-gun on an Éteve mount.
The Nieuport 10 set design trends that would influence the next several years of Nieuport design as well as enemy planes, chiefly by the use of the 1½ "sesquiplane" layout with a reduced-profile lower wing and vee-struts, which gave it excellent downward sight lines. One design decision that was not retained on later planes was a variable-incidence lower wing that could be modified depending on the plane's engine and load. Crew position varied -- on the type AV the pilot was forward, on the Type AR, in the rear, and the Nieuport 10 was also sometimes flown as a single-seater. As its career progressed the Nieuport 10 saw less use as a two-seat reconnaissance plane role (for which it was underpowered) and more as a single-seat fighter. Gradually over the course of 1915 the were replaced with the Nieuport 11 in the fighter role and Nieuport 12 for reconnaissance.
