SPAD A2 Amodel 1/72 scale...

This monstrosity was a solution for obtain a maximum clean field to shot to enemy planes or balloons, in times when shooting a gun inside the propeller arc was not yet developed.
One can imagine the feelings of the gunner/observer flying in a cage just centimeter in front of the rotating engine in this fragile structure. Well, the French Command was not convinced with this machine and this model was finally soled to Russian Army...

 

SPAD XIII in American Hands...

This is one of the most known and beautiful war birds of the Great War. SPAD was flown by every allied aces with great success.

The kit is the superb 1/48th scale Dragon/DML kit. This manufacturer was the very first in develop super detailed kits. Many modelers hate DML kits by different reasons. But my experience with its products is really good...I fell in love with this brand and I have many models based in it.

Please, look carefully the extraordinary details of this kit, one of the better product of DML in every scale or time of production. 

A la francaise...Chapeaux a DML pour cette kit!!!
