Model Expo has been serving hobby enthusiasts with precision Models since 1976! Model Airways has gone to great lengths to recreate this legendary World War I fighter. We’ve designed our Nieuport 28 from original plans, photographs and restored aircraft on display in several museums.

The historically accurate model reproduces virtually every detail of the real airplane. The open framework allows for authentic detailing and shows the intricacies of construction.

Nieuport 28 airplane kit contains over 190 laser cut basswood and birch plywood parts for ribs, fuselage and other wooden components. Hundreds of finely cast Britannia metal, copper, aluminum, brass and rubber parts make up the instrument panel, fuel tank, turnbuckles, ailerons, struts, compression bar, stabilizers, machine guns, wheels, tires and more!
