SPA Modeler

This is a family of aircrafts, some have one seat in the front, some have 2 seats (pilot and gunner) some have one seat in the back, there are different fighter configurations and more bombers like the 1B1 I have build before...lot of different versions Roden has in program and the kit is good to build, more or less..

Wow! Interesting aircraft. You've done amazing work. Does this particular kit come in a 2-seater as well? With so many amazing WW1 builds you've done, I really need to get my feet wet doing one. I do have a 1/32 scale Sopwith Camel kit in my stash I bought after the Christmas holidays. I really need to get myself a scrap bi-plane to practice on doing some rigging.

I have seen quite a bit of Eduard bi-planes I'd love to do.

BlackSheep, build one and enjoy it, Eduard has some old kits with bigger problems, but all newer biplans are nice. If you look for a nice and easy one Fokker D.VII is a good one, no rigging and colorful, with excelent fit

The kit for the comic fighter is only a single seater in this kit, but 2 diffrent structures for the pilot compartment, it Roden has 4 differnt Strutters and all have some subvariants in the kit, so you cn build so much differnt structures..

Thanks CL. I've got my eye on one particular Strutter and a couple Fokker D.VII kits by Eduard.

Very nice!!
