I have been looking at this photo and have a question. Is it Me or have the double wires with wood been replaced by standard RAF wire?

Well it wouldn't be a RAGIII build Thread without something being added  ::) I sold some Old 90mm figures and picked this up:



I am pretty sure it will be French but Not sure of the pilot at this point  8)

Oh surprise! Rick has started another of his multiple builds....

Frankly Rick I do not know how you do ti. I would be completely confused if I tried to build more than one model at a time.

The figures were a couple of Almond sculptures , 6th Inniskilling , and a Verlinden 120mm US Civil War figure.

I have worked on the wings and assembled some of the interior on the SPAD XIII. Next up is painting the interior.

So I have progressed on the SPAD XIII build. Interior is painted, installed, and fuselage halves glued together. I must say that I am puzzled by some very good modelers having fit issues with the interior, This is not restricted to Very Good Modelers on this Forum but also includes FB. I have done Nothing that diifers from the kit assembly directions and all is fitting together as planned.  The upper fuselage held in place with finger pressure shows No Real fit issues and did not require sanding or modifying the bulkhead in the front cockpit/ rear engine compartment.

I added the Canvas Bag to the right fuselage, made from sheet styrene:

Thanks Fredrik! I think I may need to contact you for some masks soon    ::)

So,  the kit is now assembled and primed. A bit of re-sanding needed then I will begin to paint.
