It works out fine, probably much better than the Glen-coe ever could, given the detail of the Eduard kit. All parts fit just fine, the dimensions are the same for either kit as far as fit and so on.

I wish they had done the "American Aces" as well, but the "French Aces" is a good one. You can see the model I did from this kit of Baracca's XIII on my pages at the site. I have just finished doing one as Rene Fonck's airplane, and to tell you the truth, the airplane can sit there next to the DML Frank Luke SPAD, and you have to get close and look underneath to see things that "detract" from the kit. IMHO, the only thing really needing work is the lower join area of the radiator to the forward fuselage, which has a distinct "kink" I haven't seen on SPADs. You can leave it alone (I did) and still have a nice-looking model. I think the surface detail on the side of the fuselage is better than on the DML, BTW. Of course you have to scratchbuild a cockpit, but it's not that hard to do something quick and easy that is acceptable in look. And I think the interplane struts of this kit are much better than in the DML kit. The rib detail on the wings is a bit heavy, and there's the problem of puttying the ejector marks in the ribs, but that is not difficult either. The decals are by Scalemaster and are excellent. Just my two sou's.

Also, related to your painting category (which presumably is mostly about technique) I would think a section on colour, FS-numbers, Methuen etc would be helpful. ============================================= I have long thought it would be a good thread to begin - tools. I think most of us have figured out some neat little gizmos for performing a delicate modelling task. The famous CA-applying tool comes to mind (I dont remember who first described it - sorry). I use a toothpick with a blob of blue-tac attached to the end to move around really tiny parts with CA on them - when the CA dries in a moment or two, it holds enough to gently release the blue-tac.
