Decals were from Peddinghaus and rigging was .004 steel wire

This was an early SPADXIII. The next SPAD XIII I build  will be the later version.  Overall I enjoyed  this build.

Who doesn't love a SPAD? Great scheme as well

Very nice job and definitely a very colourful scheme.

[Brad Cancian]

Excellent build! I have just started the same kit - any tips for the build?

I also have the Peddinghaus decals as I also like the same scheme, but the decals on the sheet I have don't look like they have good colour density. What are you thoughts on the decals?

Cheers,

BC

Brad,

           The decals are printed on one continuous  sheet so you must cut them as close as possible.  They are thin but I have had little problems with them.  I generally use them for unit or personal  markings.  I try to  use the kit decals for crosses and roundels.  On this kit I used Peddinghaus roudels and they did not cover as well as I would have liked.

That looks fantastic.  I really like linen finished spads, and this scheme is one of the most colourful.

Excellent. Seems to be a SPAD time of year.

Superb work Rip. I think the Spad models are very difficult to replicate in 1/72. Yours is very well executed. 

[Will Levesley]

That?s looks great!  Got mdd we thinking about rejuvenating an old rebel Spad I built years ago.

I'm always amazed at the  work that is displayed on this site in 1/72 scale.

Thanks to all for the nice comments.  I enjoyed this build and have had good luck building Eduard SPADs.
