Alec KI would say that your perseverance paid off - it's a beautiful build. I particularly like your weathering 👍

bughunterThanks for the warning, I will build this kit one day in future. May be I will replace then the struts by wood and brass as in my other WWI. Anyway, the final result do not show the problems 👍

Hi guys,
This is my interpretation of the SPAD XIII (Eduard 1/48) flown by Lt Nungesser (WW I).
It's a tough kit... I' was warned by an old article written a long time ago in Wingmaster (#70), saying how !#@%$& difficult was the assembly of the upper wing and the rigging. I've to say it's true : not only the masts are difficult to align, but the central one are too short to connect with the upper wing. I nearly gave-up and at the end I'm not really satisfy with the final work. Anyway, hereafter are a few pictures of my attempt to save this kit. I' also added a picture of the cockpit, just to prove that I' didnt zap it.. ;<).
Thanks for looking.
