Kovozavody Prostejov 1/72 Nieuport Triplane ‘RFC/RNAS’ # 72255

The Nieuport Triplane was a series of triplanes based on the Nieuport 10/17.

Gustave Delage modified a Nieuport 10 in 1915 for testing with a set of triplane wings in a distinctive fore-aft-fore stagger, which was later patented in 1916.

The Royal Naval Air Service tested two Nieuport 17s (modified with reversed stagger on the upper mainplane and mounted with one Lewis machine gun) (RNAS).

One more triplane was tested and assigned to No. 11 Squadron RNAS until June 1917.

It was adapted from a Nieuport 17bis.

It was never given an official designation because it was never ordered into production.
