Nieuport 11 (Chaput)

1/144 Scale

The Nieuport 11 "Bebe" was a French single seat fighter aircraft. Reaching the front in early 1916, it outclassed its German opponent, the Fokker Eindecker. It ended the dominance of German aviation, known as the "Fokker Scourge," and gave air superiority to France during the battle of Verdun. The Nieuport 11 performed well in combat thanks to its excellent inherent speed, rate-of-climb, and agility. This successful airplane, however, had one limitation - its lack of a synchronized machine gun, which hampered its offensive capabilities.


A French ace credited with 16 victories, Jean Chaput was renowned for his audacity and \'sang-froid\' and was awarded with the Legion d\'Honneur for his achievements.
