Welcome to the forum Fern!  What a beautiful Guynemer SPAD! ;D  The finish looks great, and anyone who can rig in 1/72 is aces in my book! ;)  Well done.

Regards,

Bob

Beautifully done Fern, the finish is excellent and to rig a model in 1:72 scale is a real feat, well done and I look forward to seeing more of your brilliant work.
