Salmson 2a2//Gaspatch//1:48

Good Day
I would like to focus on this one, which seems to be quite promising in terms of quality and detailing
So far, so good

The Gaspatch Salmson appears to be a Lovely kit. Your Model is looking Awesome! The interior looks Fantastic. You have nailed the control and bracing wires! Well Done!

I have been on the fence as I want a Salmson 2A2 in USAAS markings, but can't decide which kit, WnW or Gaspatch.  K, your build photos of the interior have knocked me clean off the fence and squarely on the Gaspatch side. I will be ordering one soon. It goes without saying I will be following your build closely for tips and tricks to use.

Oh, K is creating a template to follow in my own build. Looks nice, I'm in!
Which kit do you build? I have the "Mid Type" in stash and looked last weekend into the box. The content is nice, with all the options, PE, decals and laser cut cardboard for jig.
Do you open the fuselage to show the engine?

Cheers,
Frank

You're off to an excellent start, K!  I have this one in my stash and you've just moved it closer to the front of the queue.

What a start, the model looks beautiful and by your pictures can be turned into a very nice reproduction. Following with interest.

Looking great - I have built one of these before (as evidenced through my website link pic), it is a really great kit.  I have to say that your build so far suggests that this will be a stunner.

Very good looking! I especially like the wood colour and the contrast it creates against the CDL.

I know it is early in your build, but did you order one of the two available painting masks for this model? I was wondering which was preferable, vinyl or paper? I am currently attempting to mask and spray a French 5 color camo scheme on a 1/28th Spad. Anything that helps with painting the camo is looking pretty good to me right now.

Your great photos of the really fine work you have done on your Salmson has convinced me to order one.
