Username:Rogi
First Name: Igor
Category:3 (Just a reguler out of the box again ) has some photoetch goodies to go along with it
Scale: 1/48
Kit Manufacturer: Eduard
Model Type: Nieuport 17
Details:
I'll be doing the mount of Italian Ace Francesco Baracca, His "prancing horse" logo was used and adjusted by Ferrari for his iconic racing car company
Francesco is Italy's top ace of WW1 with 34 victories.
I'll take the bit of history from Wiki if you guys don't mind
"It was around this time that Baracca adopted as a personal emblem a black prancing horse on his Nieuport 17, in tribute to his former cavalry regiment. This prompted some to call him, "The Cavalier of the Skies".Flying the Nieuport 17 and then, from March 1917, the SPAD VII, he scored both individually, and in combination with other Italian aces."
and one for the logo:
"In later years, Baracca's mother presented his prancing stallion emblem, the Cavallino Rampante, to Enzo Ferrari. The prancing horse has been the official symbol of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team since 1929, and of Ferrari automobiles since they began manufacture"
I'll add a bit more later
P.S. I can finally explain my Wood grainy method!
Here is his emblem, the Prancing Stallion, it is in tribute to his old cavalry regiment Francesco first adopted it on his Nieuport 17
I still have to add his history here
