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

Notwithstanding Poland being the central Europe, not the Eastern, I am glad to let you know that Spad 13 is now available on pre-order at at least two modeling shops - Jadar and Martola. However, no details of possible delivery are given. I will let you know if I find out more.

For My part I can promise an evaluation based on reference and experience building a "Few" SPADs'    That being said One thing is certain. The Roden kit will be the Best 1/32nd scale SPAD XIII Early" Currently" in production    I Hope for improvement in a couple of  Key areas, the most important to me being strut locations and locating pins!

Fingers crossed here, too.  There are so many ways that Roden can improve, starting with quality attachment points for the struts, a Hispano Suiza engine that actually fits inside the cowl without bursting through the top of the cowl and some decent rib tape detail on the wings, just for starters.

All I can say is Eddie Rickenbacker and Frank Luke.

For me a special decal sheet, please, with all nine of these gaudy birds of USAS 94th sqadron on occupation duties in Coblenz/Rhineland, 1919.

Absolutely my thoughts. Would be nice to see them all together.

Aren't these the late versions without rounded wing tips? Maybe let us wait until the promised late boxing alights.

Sure! I don't intend to buy the early SPAD XIII.

The Profiles show the late panels on the fuselage.( Hopefully not an indication of the actual kit) It seems to me that two left fuselage halves would be needed for an early or late version to be 100% accurate. If not having sanded a Hobby Craft fuselage into shape I guess I can do the procedure again. It only took a couple of Hours

Not yet. I saw on FB that Dave is working on trying to get some for the Forum!
