You make an incredible job on a difficult kit. It will be a beauty. It's a joy to follow your progress!

Well, not finished. Moreover the pictures are enhanced and it seems too much contrasted. I will do better ones:)

Sounds like a good plan, cause I thought it was a little bit overdone. I think the French CDL is rather on the yellow side so you might try giving it a slight yellowish tint with pastels and blending them afterwads using a wet cotton bud.
I`m sure it`s going to be great knowing your skills!

Hello,
Still can not adjust WB to show exact shading but more or less it looks as follows:



the fairing from PE was just a pain..



The rigging will be really tough to perform as the distance between both wings is rather small, so it is going to be hardest part ever..

Catching up, Krzysiek.  Your work with the PE is stunning, particularly
the the radiator.  That looks spectacular.  The model is an absolute gem,
my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Krzysiek,
    +1 and more to Ernie's comments above. I have the 1:32 Roden Kit and the Part PE Set which looks to be a real challenge; your mastery of the smaller set is remarkable, nice work!
Cheers,
Lance

Krzysiek job looks spectacular.  :)
I'm also have this Rodens Spad in 1:32 with Parts PE. I will start with it after finishing my Fokker D VII.

I agree 100%, K, and I love the weathering!

KrzysiekK the work you have done on this kit is simply fantastic, moreover I like the choice of paints you used, they look to me the perfect choice, which colours did you use?

For my SPAD I used Misterkit #FR03 French Light Yellow for the CDL and Misterkit #FR04 Clear Doped Linen for the darker shade of the nose.

Mine was a SPAD VII of Giorgio Pessi AKA Giuliano Parvis from 91a Squadriglia

Ciao
