Here, I present my Roden SPAD built from the newly released kit. I also used FFSMC decals and some PART PE parts as well as scratchbuilt some details. This depicts Adjudant Jacques Roques' SPAD XIII, a Swiss citizen who fought for the French, and is credited with 5 victories. I found this to be a typical Roden kit, which can be made into a very nice model with a little extra effort. Thanks for looking.

After reading K2's review of the kit and the thread about it, I decided to do something silly and start mine. The only thing that made this feasible is that I've manages to finish two of the four Spitfires that were on my bench. I've been working on it for about a week now and have to sy that I'm enjoying the build immensely. No inital box shot as I jumped in too quickly and the contents one would have been messy as I picked the kit up second hand and a lot of the parts had been removdd from their sprues. So, I actually started where the instructions said to and that's with the cockpit. I'm using HGW belts on the build as i prefer them to the moulded on ones. These were an older set which means you have to cut them apart yourself. A bit more extra work but at least they were cheaper.
