Title: Guynemer's SPAD XIII
Post by: sobrien on September 10, 2014, 12:39:04 PM

Most models and drawings of Guynemer's SPAD XIII have the number 2 in red, however, some drawings and Hobbyctraft's 1/32 version has the 2 green. Which one is correct, or is this another thing like Voss' cowling?

I thought as much. Now I have to find some red 2's for the Hobbycraft kit.

Thanks,

Sean
