Some lovely work already on these Xan.

I hadn't realized how time consuming working on several versions of the same aircraft at the same time was until I tried it, but these should be beauties when completed - keep going  ;D

Magnifique! (sorry, I don't know how to say it in Basque :D ) I bought the 1:32 Roden SPAD VII a few months ago with the express intention of building the "Golden Panther" version of Pinsard's machine, so I'll be following along with great interest.

Gold yellow or white?

in this picture panther seems to be white kighter than wings color...



Yellow apperence could be old varnish effect... I am not sure yet.

Lovely work on a challenging kit. And JMGT! That brings back memories.... I remember when we were amazed by these kits when they were first released.

Interesting! I was of course going by David Méchin's profile of S.VII No 406 on Albin Denis's site:



... but was No. 406 also the same aircraft as the photo you posted showing Pinsard in "Revanche III"? If so then I think your theory is correct, since the léopard de Bornéo certainly appears to be white.

I'll be following with even more interest to see what your conclusions are!

I give up for the white metal JMGT, there ara definitively too large...In stead of them, I will use Eduard SPAD XIII strutsfrom a week-end box I bought to use some parts.



I will do the n°406, the Revanche III his third lack fuselage SPAD, with a panther, SPA78 squadron symbol







three years ago, this fabric part was sold in a caution and this video was done: a treasure for us!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDpFQQFnAgY&t=9s

I will use pure lack for metal and wooden parts, radôme (H318) for fabric (wormer than sail color H84 in my opinion) and a mix of them for black painted fabrics
