Spads57 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Morning All, Ok count me in for a SPAD XIII.I haven't decided on which kit I'll build as of yet.But it will be either Revell's 1/28 scale SPAD XIII or the Hobbycraft SPAD in 1/32 scale. This OOB thing is going to be tough on me but I'm in for a shot. Regards, Gregory Jouette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Welcome Greg! A good OOB can be quite refreshing, as long as you pick the right kit. Looking forward to you Spad. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotary Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 phew----even BADLY warped. what the hell is 'dadly'???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spads57 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Dave, Thanks for the head up concerning the wing warp.I haven't checked my kit to see yet,but I'll hoping it's not warped.My example is an early issue still in the wrapping so maybe it will be in good shape.Was the Spad you're referring to a newer issue? I think the kit as been around since the late 50's. Regards, Gregory Jouette PS: I'm likely to go with the HobbyCraft Spads because of the decals.

rotary Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 i go back that far greg. still a very good looking model though-----that i prefer done as french----or british. hobbycraft is---as far as i know---a pantograph down of revells. look forward to see what you do with either mate. cheers, dave.

Astro32 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 p.s. i must of done something really unspeakable in a previous life. Three Hail Marys, ten genuflections, one self-flagellation, and send me five hundred bucks; the cycle will be broken, and your entry to Heaven will be guaranteed! Spads, I have to give kudos and props (no pun intended) to the Hobbycraft XIII. It's a nice little kit with nice markings options. Some aftermarket support too. Just ignore the painting instructions for the 'pit! It's varnished wood on the real thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
