Post by: GAJouette on October 26, 2015, 07:02:13 AM: Siskin,
Outstanding project my old friend. I have the same kit I intended to use as a guide for a 1/32 scale scratch build project. The project never got very far before being put away though,but maybe someday. The Spin kit is a wonderful kit too and your work so far shows this perfectly. Keep up the outstanding progress and keep us posted.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

I would not say that this model is easy to assemble. On the contrary - in my practice this is the worst model. I'm got tired of it)))

Post by: xmald on January 09, 2016, 06:48:02 AM: What a great model Siskin! I`m going to follow your thread when I decide to pull mine out of the closet.
Shading and weathering is very well balanced and I really like it much better in Russian markings.
The only aspect of your work I don` t like is rigging - not entirely your fault but I would change the material you use next time.
IMHO it simply looks a little bit too thick. But that`s only my opinion. Apart from that the model is superb!
I deeply admire your skills mate!
Title: Re: SPIN model SPAD A.4 1:48 - Imperial Russian Air Service
Post by: Siskin on January 10, 2016, 06:30:40 AM: I agree with you- brace bit thickish. Although it is possible that such an effect on the photos are the paired braces.
