That is really top notch rick - a superb example of your modelling skill. I do hope that the RFC version will sit alongside this one in the cabinet before too long.

Thanks to all for the Kind comments! They are appreciated. A couple of you mentioned the RFC SPAD so I will say it is still in the plans...just giving Roden time to get the struts to me  :D If they don't arrive in a couple of weeks or by the time I finish the Niuport 28 I will work on making My own.

So great to check in and see this Rick. What an absolutely beautiful Spad, the finish is utterly convincing, I love it!

Hope you are well, I have spent today clearing up my work bench and getting everything ready for a restart. Work like this makes me think I should never have taken a break!

That's an outstanding model Spad, Rick -

I've built this myself recently and can testify that this is not one of Roden's easier kits to get together - wonderful work.

Thanks Dave! I am considering going back to the RFC version soon. It looks like Roden is not sending the struts so I will be making MY own  :( By the way, it is great to have you back on the Forum!

Many thanks, Rick - I really appreciate you saying that as I will admit I was worried about coming back given the length of time I was away.  Glad I did though!
