The brand new 26cc Nieuport is beautifully constructed with scale details including flying wires and striking colour scheme.
Originally formed as Nieuport-Duplex in 1902 for the manufacture of engine components the company was reformed in 1909 as the Societe Generale d'Aero-locomotion, and its products were marketed to the aviation industry, including ignition components. During this time, their first aircraft were built, a small single-seat pod and boom monoplane, which was destroyed in a flood after having flown successfully.
