SPAD XIII Aéronautique Militaire Française 8875

Tried to create some wooden texture on the inside of the cockpit.

More cockpit interior.

Cockpit again.

Added some pe details. Now, there are some touch ups needed.

Added the pe instruments.

Painted the instruments with ammo acrylic glass to simulate the glass effect.

Cockpit installed. The fit and the instructions aren't the greatest.

Oh boy, the fit is even worth than i thought.

Added engine and landing gear.

After priming and a lot of sanding - Oh, I hate sanding.

After painting. Still needs some touch ups.

I was surprised as well. As this is my first eduard kit to built, I can't say anything about there usual quality. But I thought it was much higher. Maybe it's just my kit but both fuselage halves don't align correct to each other and the upper and lower portion are too wide so they dont fit with the rest of the fuselage as well.

Looks like you succeeded in correcting the problems.
Could it be that there's some surplus putty left on the front seam of the right side horizontal stabilizer?😉

@Giannis Kaltapanidis: Cool. Make sure you plan the painting carefully - this will avoid a lot of work and difficulties afterwards😉

@René "Bilbo" Bartholemy: Yes, I corrected the problems but it's not perfect in any way.
