A couple of photos to show todays work. Changed the piping and did a rework of the canvas bag. I also did some more painting. As always still a lot to do!

PS: Please excuse the Pen in the photo. I added this to show My Non Modeling Friends on Face Book the general size of what I am working on.

PPS: There is some touch up needed where the earlier incorrect Pipe was located and the seat is not attached.

RAGIII,
Looking good. I'm really enjoying this, or should I say, these builds.

Good work! I've done some triple and quadruple builds, but never in this scale and certainly not WWI subjects with all that rigging and aligning of wings, etc. You must have a good system in place for organising this!?

Cheers Fredrik

Thank You Fredrik. Greatly appreciated.

So the end of todays painting session. The remaining fuselage halves are painted...save one as I am still not sure if I am doing Guynemers as the third. If I do the panel behind the cockpit on the left side is not there so it would remain Linen. Decisions, Decisions!

Excellent effect with the wood grain Rick , must say you are making good progress on these three . Good for you !

But you know , that orange pen isn't to scale !

Now if you can scratch build one ...now we're talking !

Three schmee Rick...you're using mirrors :-)
Well whatever you do, you'll have it down pat by the time you get to #3.
A most ambitious project. You look to have gotten off to a great start. I look forward to seeing your progress. If I time it right you will stay a step or two ahead of my Spad build and I can make use of some of your good ideas.

Excellent progress, Rick

I'd be happy with one Spad on the flight line...but 3? Now that's just showing off

Good luck!

Thanks for the comments SP!

Thanks Kent, Greatly appreciated! Glad you got ahold of a SPAD It lacks in some details but overall is fairly nice. As for Me, I am following Richards and Mikes builds although mine will not be anywhere near to the details !

You are a modelling machine Rick, I'm finding lockdown has meant I'm spending less time at the bench but you are motoring along.

The triplets are coming along beautifully Rick. To quote others, you are a machine.

You certainly build quickly Rick. Never mind the touching in - when all is done the results are first class in every case.

Thanks Juan. I am working on the other two cockpit floors today. Trying a couple things differently on these new ones. Hoping it will be easier.

Thanks Stephen! I just took a look at My Old build and pretty much nothing can be seen forward of the stick....but as the saying goes, I will know it is there

It's always great to see a SPAD under construction,but three at once is amazing. Looking forward to following along my old friend.
Highest Regards,
