it's looking more like a SPAD.
Have you thought about whether you will detail paint the louvre openings?
I haven't really found a good way to handle louvres.
Thanks Ken. As for the Louvres I will/ Have just used an oil wash so far. Not great but probably as far as I will go

Looking great. Well done!
Thanks!

Hello, Rick,
Just visiting the Forum for a bit and came across your Spad XIII. Very well done for an "Almost OOB" build. I'll surely visit again to see your final result, which I believe will be quite a fine build. Best of luck as you progress, and "Best Regards!"
Cheers!

Thanks for Dropping by...and the comment!

Having the markings in place really set of the scheme !

Thanks Alexis!

Never mind the size of the dumbell Rick: the markings have turned this into a much more interesting scheme.
Stephen.
Thanks Stephen.

Looking great Rick, getting the decals on has really brightened it up. Glad to hear they behaved well, this is good news all round!
I very much like the Archer stitching too.
Richie
Thanks Richie. The archer lacing really is quite nice to work with. As for the Roden Decals they are improved. It is a shame that the printing is not up to standards!

Now for the latest Small update. I have added the wheels, They really are nicely done! I also finished up the Vickers with the PE parts and cocking handles. Some Oil washes have been started...still a lot to do. Finally the cover over the pipes has been glued in position.

PS: Looking ahead to the rigging I am thinking of trying Ceramic Wire. That being said I have No Idea on what size to use and where to order in the US. Any suggestions are welcome!
