Thanks Tophe mate   

[UhuFin]

Cool idea and good looking Spad! 

[Wardukw]

Cheers Uhu mate 
Well it's update time ...it's painted and gloss coated for the weathering which won't be mental .
The colours are pretty out there for a combat aircraft but hell in WW1 we've all seen fighters painted more like a custom car show than airfield in France but it's not over done..just different .
Can't tell ya one thing..it will be a while before I do another WW1 plane ..looking forward to a much more modern one ...or a 32nd scale one 

[Wardukw]

It's done ..all finished today ..pics to follow in a couple of days .
Glad it's finished as this thing is so bloody delicate..the next build will have wheels..8 of them 

[Wardukw]

Awesome job, Phill! The camo pattern really looks good. You could probably fool a few JMNs with this.

[Wardukw]

Thanks Frank mate 
I just thought the camo would work as there was a heap of weird and colourful paint jobs in WW1 ,,so why not huh ?

[comrade harps]

That's stunning. The blue and white wors really well.

What paint did you use for the wings? A buff or something like that?

[Wardukw]

Thank ya muchly Harps mate   
The paint is just Tamiya buff sprayed on and then a second coat which was slightly darkend for the gaps between the stitching on the wings and then buff again to blend it a little better .

This French camo is surprising, like blue clouds on white sky. I should watch better the sky here in France around me (unless this has disappeard in 1930)?

It would be if the roundels were not Italian.

Great job

[Wardukw]

Cheers guys  ...yup many thanks to Chris who sent me those Italian roundels this plane would have been British and it's not a case of I glad it isn't..I just wanted something different and I got that 
The camo Tophe mate is made up ..it don't belong to anyone and trust me I looked 
Again I just wanted something different.
