Historical overview and use

The Hispano-Nieuport NiD-52 was a single-seat fighter serving with the Spanish Air Force in the interwar period, right after World War I. It was based on the French Nieuport-Delage NiD-42 but was modified and produced in Spain in a quantity of nearly 100 units. These machines were mainly used for training, escort, and air patrols, and some took part in the early fighting of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), making this model particularly interesting for both aviation history enthusiasts and modelers exploring lesser-known episodes of 20th-century conflicts.
