RAGIII,
You continue to impress with these Spads.

                                             Kevin

Thanks Kevin!

Very nice and convincing weathering, I like subtlety you put on these: used but not dirty, living flying machines.
Ciao
Giuseppe

Thanks Giuseppe! I May have gone a little further on the undersides than I intended but I am Happy with the overall results!
RAGIII


Love the weathering Rick, very convincingly done. These 3 are going to look awesome on display together.

Thanks Richie. Lets Hope they ALL make it to the finish line  ::)
RAGIII


Excellent weathering on the trio Rick  :)


Terri

Thanks Terri, greatly appreciated.
RAGIII


All three are just awesome looking, Rick.  Seeing them all finished together will be something!


Thanks Ken. Like I said to Richie, lets hope they all make it  ;D

Can't decide, which one I like most ::) All 3 looks great!

Good luck with struts and rigging!

They look good with the wings on, Rick!

Same as others have said, they're all so eye catching. 3 way tie for first place!

Thanks Gaz. I forgot to mention that I added the little drain under the cowlings on all three. Yesterday I painted the cockpit padding. Tomorrow I need to add the piping on the underside of the upper wing then it will finally be time to attempt to permanently mount the wings in place.

Still more great work being done here. I've been busy with other stuff but started a SPAD of my own a couple of days ago - all your fault of course 😉 - and I needed some more info on how to paint the fuselage insides. A quick look at your thread here and I could move on. Thanks!

The trio looks better with every update Rick!  I am very impressed with the finish and your colors.  Do you apply your clear coats with brush or airbrush?  Thanks!

Best,

Bob
