Basuroy Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hello everyone , I present to you all the excellent weekend edition kit from eduard of the Spad XIII in 72nd scale ; it goes together really well and rich with details . I weathered the model taking to replicate a machine preserved in its original paint job - the inspiration for the same came from Guynemer's Spad VII which appears to still retain its original paint . Completely OOB and rigged with stretched sprue . I had fun building and weathering this model and hopefully you enjoyed my interpretation of a well aged machine 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and I will briefly share the steps I follow for rigging - 1. Stretch a piece of sprue thin enough . It helps saving silver colour sprues as you don't need to paint them later . 2. Measure the length between the points using a divider . 3. Cut the sprue to length and dip the ends of the stretched sprue in white glue . White glue dries transparent and doesn't damage the paint. 4. Use a tweezer to fix the wire in place , make sure to pad the end of the tweezers with tape so that pressure doesn't snaps the wire . I really appreciate the warm comments from everyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
