Nice to see and different colour schemes

That SPAD Esc 94 scheme was used in the 'latest 'Red Baron' film.
It was on a British fighter and supposedly flown by 'Hawker', portrayed as an overweight, screaming physco.

OK, is this a NEW SPAD VII C.1, or is this their old kit in a new boxing?  It makes a difference, to me at least.

It looks like the same plastic and PE of the old kit in a new boxing.

It might be better just to sell the decal sheet- what.

New boxing and markings of existing kits are common practice with many manufacturers, obviously used for extending the life span of the kit.

Yep, that's what they've done. <sigh>  I wish we could get a state-of-the-art kit of this a/c.

About the only thing worth using out of the old Airfix kit are the wheels, and that's a maybe.
