[WWI] Added:SPAD VII Rene Fonck

[egallaud at club-internet.fr]

Hello,

Thank you for all of your kind comments.
Regarding René Fonck, yes, I think that he has not the recognition he should have. It is why I also want to build his SPAD XII. Anybody has the Americal Gryphon decal sheet number 130 and would like to sell it to me or to swap with an other marking from another decal sheet ?
I don't need the cockades.

Regarding the MAC kit, I thinned down the trailing edge from the down side, with minimum wing ribs restoration.
As usual with the SPAD, one of the main difficulties was the intermediate interplane struts with their rigging.

All in all, it was a very interesting subject.

I am a little bit late to send my last finished kit to the list, I will do that as soon as my main computer will be running again.

All the very best
Eric
