kensar Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 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.

AlbertD Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Very nice. I have not tried a Roden kit yet but this inspires me to go for it. Martinnfb and kensar 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircare84 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Stunning build! So the French painted all of the attachment fittings blue? Or was this specific to this aircraft? Thanks for posting. kensar and Martinnfb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensar Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 The blue fittings were common to most French SPADs and some American SPADs sported the same blue fittings - they weren't painted over. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
