Nieuport 11: "Zigomar", Nr "6". Escadrille 62eme Adj Paul Tarascon - 12 victoires.
This was Ancillotto's WoG Ni-11
I covered the Italian markings using Vallejo's Aged White, and applied home-printed decals for personal markings, and WoG Aerodrome for French National Markings.
Adj Paul Tarascon: While learning to fly in 1911, Tarascon was seriously injured in a crash, losing his right leg. Despite his handicap, he volunteered for the French Air Service in August 1914. He was accepted and received a Pilot's Brevet in December. During World War I, he became known as "l'as la jambe de bois" (the ace with the wooden leg). During World War II, Tarascon was a Colonel in the French Resistance.
All his planes were named "Zigomar!" which means something like "Penis" if I'm not wrong
