Gaspatch Models 1/48 Salmson 2A2
« on: June 09, 2014, 11:36:46 AM »
Hi all,

Here is my latest completion, the Gaspatch Models 1/48 Salmson 2A2. This one is built straight out of the box save for the rigging. It is painted up in the markings of the 1st US Aero Squadron, France, 1918.  WIP pictures can be seen here:

Overall this is a very well engineered kit, with plenty of crisp details and good fit. The only minor issue I had was with the proliferation of sprue gates on the sprues which required allot of clean up (was a bit troublesome on the smaller parts).  Otherwise a great kit.  (Side note - I have since fixed the front undercarriage strut after taking the photos.... doh!).

All comments, criticisms and feedback welcome.

She's absolutely gorgeous, Brad!  Your shading and weathering are masterfully done, as always.  True eye candy.
Cheers,
Bud

Brad,
I can't say enough about this one. Your weathering is subtle, the colors are perfect and the quality of construction is outstanding! In my Humble opinion, one of the best you have done and considering your previous work that is saying a lot!

A superb piece of modelling. This looks so realistic it could be taken for the real thing.

Fantastic work Brad! Your models are a continued inspiration to us lesser mortals  :) I regularly refer to your builds as a reference source in my own modelling and I can pay no higher compliment than that!

You have shown us just how good the Gaspatch Salmson kit is, and your excellent detail photos have a wealth of useful information to guide others.

Kind regards
