P Stoner Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Now that's a box of goodies!!!! Good choice of kits to do. Paul
Derek B Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Wow, that is going to look superb Danny with all of that AM! (I like the Skyraider; it is a huge prop aircraft and absolutely ). Derek
LSP_K2 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Go, Spad! I'll look forward to what you pull off here. Good references too.
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 I have to confess, This is my third aircraft model started in seven years!!! Not by choice. The other two are not done yet. Also have been a lurker for years, But I just started building again and been practicing on amour models. Finished those. I like to finish this Spad as well. The start is going well but may not use all the aftermarket items as the may be redundant. So saying this may not even close to the great work done on this site Hope I can build something great to honor these great people that flew these great Aircraft. Also meet the expectations of my fellow modelers. Girlscanplay2 and LSP_Paul 2

It will honor the folks who you are building this to honor, and it will honor yourself spending quality time at the bench and having fun will all of us. Don't worry about how your efforts measure up with anybody else's. This is for YOU to participate and have fun. We are here for support and to cheer you on!
