Hello Iwik,
As always, I'm fan of your work...
I particullary do like the way you paint the wings with darker colors in the trailing adges. I will soon contact you to know more about cause I will apply it very soon...
One thing I bought a strutter too i Bron exposiiton last week, and speaking with a friend about the french decorations he told me the french strutters were silver. Do you eard something about that? (I do prefer them in fabric color as you did, so I will be very easy to convince...

Hi y'all!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I might be posting some of my even older kits if you want, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be hearing of me for a while. I'll soon start work on a Hobbycraft 1/32 Spad XIII, but it will be for Wingmaster first...
Ciao

Ps Xan, most Sop 1/2 were silverdoped. In the WD it is said that (if I remember correctly) some early ones (for the Brits? I can't rememeber either, will have to look it up home...) were indeed clear doped. But we're not sure which ones... Pm me anytime you want! I'll give you my number!

Iwik, that is true about the silver dope on the French Strutters. (I didn't want to say anything.  :)  ) It is believed that some early French machines were CDL, there is a t least one contemporary painting of one, but yes the majority were enduit metalaise (sp?).

The British machines were CDL at first, if memory serves, and then PC10 uppers.

Warren is correct, Iwik.  In addition, a number of RNAS 9700's were transferred to France in their original cdl.  This information is in both Datafiles and Cross and Cockade.  So, your cdl ship could be correct.  Even so, who cares.  It's a magnificent model.
Cheers,
Bud
