NEW MasterCasters 1/32 Ni17 Cowl/Wheels

Brand New from MasterCasters 1/32 MST32022 Nieuport 17 Cowl/Wheels Resin Detail replacement Set. These were delayed gettign to me and I think I have all but a very limited number spoken for form the 1st production batch but I have spoken with Jay from MST and he promises me a 2nd production run in process now. I have them listed but these are the first Pictures.

Designed for teh HobbyCraft/Acedemy 32nd Ni17 Kits which are still in production and as low a cost kit as can be however not to say lacking accuracy and looks. The kit while the plane may not be as big a WWI superstar as a Fokker DVII it is the Aircraft which Rung in the New Era of WWI Flighting machines. The First Allied Answer to the Fooker E.III and which inspired the Germans to modify the design of the new Inline Sturdy fast Albatros D.I/D.II fighters to incorporate the 1 & 1/2 wing design into the Siemans D.I / Alb D.III/V/Va in the First Single engine Fighter plane Arms race.

The Kit asisde from lacking an Interior also had extgerated wheel eyelets molded around the wheel cover rims and a Featureless smooth cowl.

Both issues addressed here for a Vickers Mounted Version Cowling and correct wieghted wheels and wheel covers.
