NI-2

5,610 AeroSportIndustries  2.4 years ago

The NI-2 was designed in 1916 as a prototype fighter for the RAF. The officers overseeing the testing were impressed by the aircrafts good speed and manueverability and (for the time) heavy armament. It was the first aircraft to have the armament mounted in the wings. It became the first production aircraft to be made by Noble Industries, with 274 being built.

    @NobleMobileUser yes, me too.. I build them from memory. But keep in mind to add dihedrals and staff like that detail. Even if you are not ready with the fuselage wings

    @WinsWings Thanks! Never really looked at a reference for this. Still trying to figure out how to make fuselage covered wings look good, got any tips for that?

    looks cool, just a little suggestion. I notice that most WW2 biplanes got larger upper wings than the lower ones. (I am not sure it is that way all the time), but that I notice most
