Actually not the Bristol Scout that was a single-seater but the Bristol F.2B Fighter. The aircraft was a Polish plane captured by Russians during the Polish–Soviet War in 1920. Overhauled and assigned to the 2nd FS of the Red Army Navy. The inscription "Гибель побежденным" means "Vea Victis" or just Woe to the conquered what is opposite to the "Gloria Victis".
 
Soviet Nieuports: I'd be the first to admit it that some of the suttle difereces in the Nieuport 17-24 family escape me, so I
will just post them as a group....If your a modler Nieuports that were made in France were finished in the aluminum dope finish, those built in Russia by Dux were finished in a gray to matc the aluminum finish.
