Copper State Models CSM F32077 - 1:32 Italian Airman Posing at Nieuport Rudder

3D-printed resin figure of an Italian airman posing at the rudder of a Nieuport aircraft in 1:32 scale

Copper State Models F32077 is a figure of a First World War Italian airman shown in a relaxed pose leaning against the rudder of an aircraft. The pose is designed so that the figure composes with a Nieuport aircraft model, enlivening an airfield scene.

The Nieuport aircraft model is not included (available separately). The fine 3D-print detail gives a realistic rendering of the flying kit and the figure's features.

Required tools:

• Hobby knife or scalpel to separate the parts and clean off print-support marks

• Modelling primer
• Figure brushes or an airbrush

About the figure - Italian airman (First World War):

The Italian air arm (Corpo Aeronautico Militare) used French Nieuport fighters among others during the First World War, fighting mainly on the Italian front against Austro-Hungarian aviation. The figure depicts an Italian airman in the characteristic flying kit of the era - a leather jacket and helmet.

The figure's pose is matched to a Nieuport aircraft model, making it an attractive element that brings an airfield scene of the Great War to life.
