Wow-- finally an up-to-date Nieuport 17! The Academy kit is pretty "long in the tooth", with lots of issues. This new one comes With a cone de' penetration to boot! Looks like CSM has really scored a home run with this new kit-- any idea when it will be available?

CSM said back in March that the new kit would be available this Autumn 2018. But there was no mention of a release date this time around. What ever the release date it will be worth waiting for by the looks of the sprues and the partial test builds.

Looks top quality, a fine representation of a much needed kit. Upto the same standard as WNW if not better, I can't wait to get my hands on one at least but so many options you just know you will have to buy more. I wish CSM every success with this venture. .
