The Nieuport 27 was simply a Nieuport 24 with a split axle. Only about half of these several hundred planes saw combat. Their fate until the March 1918 was limited to being salted in with other Nieuport aircraft in front line units and the training of future pilots and mounts for the instructors. After the war the few remaining Nieuports were sold to private owners, while all other machines were sent for scrap. Here we finish the build dicussed in the original Aeroscale review on Roden's kit # 630.

Here is my version of B3629 late in its career. Probably March 1918 when it was turned in for decommissioning. I wanted to portray a veteran machine at the end of its service. Note the wheels have been turned with the face inwards. This is to give the machine a wider track and lessen ground looping.
