I have to confess,  :innocent:   This is my third aircraft model started in seven years!!! Not by choice.  :frantic:  The other two are not done yet. :hmmm:   Also have been a lurker for years,  :popcorn:  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.

Danny,

Doing your best and having fun will do just fine. 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!

 All the best
