"I've always been fond of this plane and it was one of the more enjoyable and colorful models to develop. The Nieuport 17 was a Model A Ford of the skies, if you will. However the two very different machine guns and round cowling required some new intricate paper construction manipulations. Its unique boat-like rudder was a challenge to get just right. It was my pleasure to add the name, and personal emblem, of the famous French Ace Lt. Georges Guynemer to the cockpit." -Huntly
