Title: Roden SPAD S.VII w/skis due in 2014
Post by: Vickers on December 05, 2013, 04:05:47 AM

Always fun to read the descriptions on the Hobby Search site, apparently this SPAD doubled as a potato. Not certain whether this is news, but it's the first I've seen of it:

Seems to be available now, directly from Roden via eBay.

Apparently, the Japanese are the only ones with intelligence regarding the potato usage.
Cheers,
Bud

Perhaps a Japanese adaptation of The Wizard Of Oz had ski-equipped SPAD VIIs bombarding Dorothy and her motley band with potatoes, since the whole flying monkey thing would seem so very unlikely.  ;D

Thanks for the tip on Roden's eBay store!

Would that explain the 1 Ding Vickers too? Does that mean it stopped after it shot the prop off?

Was that SPUD or SCUD?  Maybe Saddam had some of them...

Obviously, with the SPUD reference, they meant it "fries".
