Three of 'em actually.  Even though I mentioned the Amodel SPAD SA.2 as
a tough build, it was also very rewarding in the end because I was able
to make something of it, and I personally think it's my best model to
date.

The second would be the CMR Morane Saulnier Type AI.  The first - and
only - model I've ever jigged, and the rest of the build just clicked.

Finally would be my first (in hopefully a long line) of French Sopwith
Strutters, the camo'ed 1.A2 from SOP 287.  First, the research was very
rewarding, being given one of the first looks at a photo of a line-up
of SOP 287 Strutters.  Then, trying to figure out the uniquely
layed-out five color camo.  Then, actually building the kit.  There are
hurdles to overcome for sure, but nothing like the SA.2.

Ironic that all three are French machines? ;-)
