I hope that there will be some aftermarket decals out.  Would like to see some additional French choices.

It appears Roden have tweaked the Spad decals. Here's the released sheet:

Great news for us all.

And here is some fun - I have just checked the Roden website, Spad 13 is already there:

But if you look further you may realize that if you attempt to build it you will end up with a lovely Stearman model :)

Decals? Who makes them ? By the way, there wan/is an E Bay distributer that said they had them in stock. Based in Ukraine.

I decided I wanted a chicken on my SPAD and found a French company called FFSMC on ebay, selling just such a set for Escadrille SPA48.
Anyone dealt with them?

Yep - I ordered one off Ebay on the 23rd - said it shipped on the 25th but we will see - I have a feeling it may take a very long time to arrive :)

Saw these on e-bay as well. Would love to do a screamin cockrel SPAD.
I'd be very interested in what you think of them when you have them in your hands. The pics on e-bay were a bit vague.

I understand Roden's Spad XIII is due for release any day now, and may already be available in Eastern Europe.

We are planning three in depth reviews of the new kit once it's available- Lance Carroll, RAG III (Rick) and myself will be offering three independent assessments of the Spad kit. Unconfirmed reports suggest the price will be between 42 and 47 Euros - very roughly in the $US 60 bracket.

More news the moment we have it!
