A Huge thanks to all for the compliments. All are greatly Appreciated! To answer a couple of questions:
Przemol: Yes I actually do look forward to a Roden SPAD XIII. I just need to get a Vise and learn to squash brass tubing and solder.  8)

Bob: No shots of all three together. I will have to do that someday and perhaps post in the "Show Us" thread.

Lance, as for the rigging I am sure you could come up with a better solution! You did experiment with brass struts on your Fokker EV so you are way ahead of Me  ;D

Sorry for my long absence in commenting and posting. I love these SPADs, they really look very niche and they make me waiting in anticipation for the Roden SPAD 13.

You did the trifecta Rick!  All very nicely done, lovely schemes and outstanding builds.  As has been mentioned, the rigging is a challenge and you managed to pull it off nicely.  Motivating to say (write) the least.
Bravo Zulu!
