simmerit Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) It’s been a while since I posted but to break the ice, I thought I’d post my latest build which is a Nam Spad. About 7 months of work on the build and finished today, Ordnance is all after market and the cockpit is Aires - an absolute nightmare to join the fuselage and I should have stuck with the kit cockpit which is actually as good if not better. ‘Nuff said. Hopefully his has worked - first time with Flickr..... It's a fascinating plane with the payload is carried being greater than a B-17. I cant remember the metric (gallons or litres) but one of the old sceptics (so it must be gallons) that used to work on Spads in the 60s posted that is carried 40 gallons of oil, most of which ended up all over the fuselage after a mission as oil leaked like hell. I've gone for weathering that was consistent with an end of mission, although its fully bombed up, so we will assume a bit of poetic license as its just landed and been bombed up and is straight out again. The tanks are red as the Sceptics painted them for Christmas. How very festive! Anyway - Flickr sorted, so here are the piccies Edited August 26, 2020 by simmerit 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacificmustang Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Simmerit The easiest way is to just copy and paste the link - as circled on my screenshot - into your post, and the Britmodeller machinery will do the rest Hope this helps Bruce Edited August 26, 2020 by pacificmustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were private so noone could see them. Durgh.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get back to armour really, but I'd got a second Spad on the go which is Korean war, so an earlier model. Third Spad arrived a few weeks ago...... I'm a bit Spad obsessed at the minute. Wokka soon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I believe the word is "bristling"? 😉 Very impressive Spad! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
