Hello Guys,

I'm just entering this aircraft into the Air Gallery section of the forum, so for those who followed this build thread and final reveal, you've seen her before, but for anyone that didn't see these images, thanks for taking a look and/or commenting.

Great work!! I've nearly bought this kit several times. I might have to give it a go next time. I really like the paint work on the ordinance. I hate doing ordinance. But, it pays off in the end.

Thanks mate! You should get yourself...it's the best kit I've ever had the pleasure to build, out of the 16 that I have built since beginning modeling. The Engineering is superb, everything falls together without any need for filler. I love ordnance, the more the merrier...one of the reasons I was drawn to this kit, and, there are two large sprues full of ordnance for different layout options!

Cheers :cheers2:

Thanks, Mog, much appreciated! I, too, love a well armed Spad! Or, any aircraft with tons of ordnance making them look mean and aggressive and ready to do what they were designed for doing! :) :thumb1:

Cheers :cheers2:

Very good Spad build, the exhaust stains on the sides looks very proper. :cheers2:
