Thank you for your kind replies, I don't get on the "interweb" much these days so I enjoyed sharing these pics with you  :).
I naively thought this would be straightforward having seen other builds, you live and learn!
Yes, the rigging is a PITA with those  inboard interplane struts and the fuselarge could've done with being strenthened internally, as it kept coming apart.
I liked the masks, they let you paint the shade you want. Colour profiles of this machine don't show the rocker covers blue, but I think they could well have been,
matching red and white flight's style of markings.
Thanks again,
Tony.

Excellent, Brez….and one of my very favorite machines...very well done.....been meaning to do the Roden Spad myself... in RFC livery especially...love the history of the two RFC Spad squadrons, 19 and 23...and as you say, Des' build, of course, truly does inspire.

Fantastic model! Nice to see someone is doing such an outstanding model with a Roden kit. The paintjob is great, too! Very eye catching.
Bye,
