Title: Show us your....SPAD XIII
Post by: Jacek on June 20, 2013, 04:52:47 AM: SPAD XIII Revell kit 1/28.

Very old kit, not exactly corresponding to reality. It served me for learning preshading.

All great looking Spad's

Jacek - your Revell 1/28 really looks the part - I've just completed the same kit, so know the work you would have put into this venerable old kit!

Title: Re: Show us your....SPAD XIII
Post by: lone modeller on November 25, 2013, 03:38:10 AM: What a group of excellent models. Very high standards of finish and very colourful schemes. The Revell kit is so old it must be growing a white beard, but you have really shown what can be done with patience and skill.
Title: Re: Show us your....SPAD XIII

Post by: GAJouette on November 27, 2013, 01:09:29 PM: Jacek,
Ah you just have to love those SPADS. Here's a couple of my ancient SPAD projects for your approval. First up is a SPAD XII in 1/48 scale. This was a conversion project using a Hawk SPAD XIII from the early 50's. Once completed there wasn't much of the donor kit remaining.

Title: Re: Show us your....SPAD XIII
Post by: mgunns on January 04, 2014, 06:16:49 AM: @ Jacek:

I really like the scheme of this model, very colorful. For sheer modeling fun, I think these 1/28 Scale kits are great. If you don't get too wrapped around the axle over details, they are a nice model to build.

@ Brad: Neat scheme and I like the faded colors.

@ Gregory: Exellent craftsmanship, especially when one considers what you started with.

@Ssashoo: Nice work. Rigging is very nicely done.

Best

Mark

Title: Re: Show us your....SPAD XIII
Post by: davecww1 on January 18, 2014, 12:08:38 PM: a nice thread, here is my Academy 1/32 scale SPAD XIII - a custom set of decals was made to represent the aircraft flown by Lt. Sumner Sewall of the 95th Aero Squadron Nov 1918. Thanks to an in depth conversation with Alan Toelle I got all of the details right (after three attempts lol!) other than the color Beige, which should have more of a "pumpkin" shade to it, but there will be a lot more SPADS to come...

Post by: davecww1 on May 11, 2014, 11:47:10 AM: My latest SPAD, a full build article currently over at Internet Modeler for anyone interested in it... This is Charles Nungesser's Spad XIII from the 1/48 scale Eduard kit, further research has shown that the red/white/blue triangle behind the cockpit should be a white triangle offset to one side, designed to confuse the opponents aim.

The only additions that I can recall are some styrene tubing, perhaps some copper wire (cockpit pipes and wiring) and an aftermarket decal set (which turned out to be incomplete, so I had to improvise a wee bit). EZ line was used for rigging and Mr Colour paints used for the camouflage scheme. Any wood grain was done using oil over acrylic. The finish was far too dull/matte in the end.

It was admittedly very rushed, but I’m happy with it anyways though and I guess that’s what counts. Maybe I’ll try a larger one some day. Here are some pics:

I built one of these as a kid and I remember having fun with the etched struts (etch was a very new thing to me... so new that I had no idea how to glue it all together...!). These DML kits were a wonder of awesomeness to me back in the day. You've done cracking job.

Cheers,

BC
