As we seen it already in the build thread you have done three great SPAD models!
Especially the rigging would make one for me boring enough, but you managed this in a great way.

Thanks for showing,
Frank

Once again, let me express my amazement at your resolution to tackle such difficult kits. And the results are truly remarkable - a trio to be proud of.
PS. Are you waiting for Roden's new release?  ;)

RAG III,
I, too, have been awaiting the final presentation of the Spads. They really do show what a great looking aircraft the Spad XIII was,
                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                 Thanks for the entertaining builds,
                                                                                                                                                 Kevin

   Quite a journey "Rags", and you deserve a medal for taking on not two, but THREE of these little devils! The rigging is what has kept both of mine hidden in the Stash, it takes a brave approach to tackle that challenge! Great finishes on all three and certainly a spectacular addition to your collection. Very nice!
Cheers,
Lance

Persistence pays off -an excellent looking trio! :) As I wrote before, though relatively often seen, I especially like the Rickenbacker scheme :)
