Visited La Ferte-Alais airshow a few weeks ago in early June.
Had a horrible drive on friday with accidents and traffic jams (took 10 hours for 450 kilometers), and excellent show saterday but had to leave a bit earlier as the excellent morning weather you see here did not last and turned into thunderstorms later one. Drive home sunday was uneventful except for loads of rain from Paris to Utrecht...
I have lot's more pictures e.g. of the Morane Type H and Bleriot, just no time to sort through them.
Unfortunately ran out of time to take more of the Sopwith 1/1/2 Strutter, Bristol F2B and RE8 also on display.
The D.VII shots were also quick shots as the airshow itself was starting and the static show area was no longer accessible.
My camera isn't really the greatest for this (Panasonic FZ50) so slightly blurry. The SPAD is also quite fast and nimbe!
Good luck on rigging this, also great view of those wooden batons between the rigging:
You can decide for yourself if rib tapes are needed on the Roden kit:
Note the difference in the forward cabane strut and the fabric wrapping. Also the spring on the side fuselage panel near the cockpit:
Other than the cool transparancy, note the staining even on a pristine (flyable) museum aircraft:
