kiki.o Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Hi, This is my latest work - Eduard's Spad XIII late in 1/48th scale. Very nice kit while still in the box, but once assembly has started... Let's just say I haven't build a model kit that's as complicated and demanding as this one. Profipack box, PE and some masks included. Gaspatch spanners were used as well as EZ Line for rigging. Rudder and roundels were masked and painted to match. Few pic while in progress... And few pics when it's done... All comments and critiques are wellcome. It'll be helpful on my next project - WNW Felixstowe in 1/32. Regards, Kristijan Edited July 6, 2015 by kiki.o 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doozer1974 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 No critique from me, I think that looks absolutely lovely. The splashes of mud up the tail are a very nice touch - a fine job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I really like this too - I particularly like the subtle variation in the camo colours. Regards Richard C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Bravo!!! That's lovely - really really lovely. Those mud splashes give a fantastic air of realism too, as does the sublet painting. Top Notch Sir! Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampartiger Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Would be glad to have the Spad in my cabinet but the idea of rigging such a delicate model just scares me off. So, thanks for posting the pics of your beautifully done Spad and I am enjoying every seconds of looking at it. Like the others i think the idea of splashing the mud on the tail is just super!

Reini78 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 lovely Spad, with the numbers of struts and the rigging one of the not so easy WW1 models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jckspratt1 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Ed kits can be a bit fiddly at times, but I love them. You've done a great job with this one, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiki.o Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thank you all for your kind words. The Felixstowe was ordered yesterday, I hope it won't be as fiddly as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Lovely! I would like to build some 1/48 WW1 but can't quite face the rigging... I certainly enjoyed the Felix.. But not a quick build! Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
